Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod or tilapia)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 4 pieces sandwich buns
- 0.5 cup tartar sauce
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 8 slices sliced tomato
Instructions
Prepare a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In the third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel, then dredge each fillet in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip the fillet into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off, and then coat it evenly with the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat with all fillets and set them aside.
In a large skillet or deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place the breaded fish fillets into the hot oil, cooking them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry each fillet for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked. The internal temperature of the fish should reach 145°F (63°C).
Transfer the cooked fish fillets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Lightly toast the sandwich buns if desired. Spread tartar sauce on the bottom half of each bun.
Assemble the sandwiches by layering the lettuce leaves, a fish fillet, and two slices of tomato on each bun. Top with the remaining half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy fish fillet sandwich!
