Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Cod fillets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.75 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 4 tablespoons Tartar sauce
- 2 pieces Cheddar cheese slices
- 2 pieces Hamburger buns
Instructions
Start by seasoning the cod fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Prepare three separate bowls: one with the all-purpose flour, one with the beaten egg mixed with water, and one with breadcrumbs.
Dredge each cod fillet in the flour, shaking off excess. Then dip the fillets into the egg mixture, and finally coat them evenly with the breadcrumbs.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough so a breadcrumb sizzles when dropped in.
Carefully place the breaded fillets into the hot oil and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and the crust is golden brown. Transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
While the fish is frying, lightly toast the hamburger buns in a separate dry pan until slightly golden.
Assemble the sandwiches by spreading 1 tablespoon of tartar sauce on the bottom half of each bun.
Place a cooked fish fillet on top of the tartar sauce, followed by a slice of cheddar cheese.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
