Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces White fish fillets (cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 2 tablespoons Butter (for toasting buns)
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Pickle relish
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 cups Cabbage (shredded)
- 1 medium Carrot (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
Instructions
Prepare the tartar sauce by whisking together mayonnaise, pickle relish, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
Make the slaw by combining shredded cabbage, shredded carrot, apple cider vinegar, and sugar in a large bowl. Toss well and set aside.
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and cut them to fit the size of the buns if necessary.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. In the second bowl, whisk together eggs and buttermilk. Place panko breadcrumbs in the third bowl.
Coat each fish fillet first in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat evenly with panko breadcrumbs. Press gently to adhere the breadcrumbs.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add breaded fish fillets, frying two at a time if needed. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
In a separate skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Toast the cut sides of the burger buns until golden and slightly crisp.
Assemble the sandwiches: Spread tartar sauce on the bottom buns, add a fried fish fillet, top with slaw, and finish with the top buns.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Off the Hook Fried Fish Sandwich!
