Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces White fish fillets (e.g., cod or haddock)
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 slices American cheese slices
- 2 pieces Soft hamburger buns
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 tablespoons Tartar sauce
Instructions
Begin by patting the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Set up a dredging station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, place the flour. In the second dish, whisk together the egg and water. In the third dish, place the panko breadcrumbs.
Coat each fish fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip it into the egg wash, and finally coat it thoroughly with the panko breadcrumbs.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it's hot but not smoking.
Carefully add the breaded fish fillets to the hot oil. Fry each fillet for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spatula to transfer the cooked fillets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Meanwhile, lightly butter the hamburger buns and toast them on a skillet or griddle until golden brown.
To assemble the sandwich, place a piece of cheese on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add a crispy fish fillet on top of the cheese. Spread about 2 tablespoons of tartar sauce over each fillet.
Complete the sandwich by placing the top half of the bun over the sauce. Serve immediately while the fish is still hot and crispy.
