Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow dish, place the flour. In another dish, beat the egg. In a third dish, combine the low sodium breadcrumbs and black pepper.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Coat each fillet in flour, shaking off any excess.
Dip the flour-coated fillets in the beaten egg, ensuring they are fully covered, then press into the breadcrumb mixture to coat both sides evenly.
Place the coated fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle them with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
While the fish is baking, prepare the tartar sauce by combining the low sodium mayonnaise, sweet relish, lemon juice, onion powder, and fresh dill in a small bowl. Stir until well mixed.
Once the fish is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Lightly toast the whole grain hamburger buns.
Spread a generous amount of tartar sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun.
Place a leaf of lettuce on top of the tartar sauce, followed by a crispy fish fillet.
Cap each sandwich with the top bun half and serve immediately.
