Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Cod fillets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise (soy-free)
- 2 tablespoons Dill pickles
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Fresh dill
- 4 Hamburger buns
- 4 Cheddar cheese slices
Instructions
Begin by preparing the tartar sauce. Finely chop the dill pickles and combine them with the soy-free mayonnaise, lemon juice, and fresh dill in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Season the cod fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
Dredge each cod fillet in the flour, making sure to coat both sides, and shake off any excess.
Dip the floured fillet into the eggs, allowing the excess to drip off.
Press the egg-coated fillet into the breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating. Set aside on a plate.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is shimmering, carefully lay the breaded fish fillets in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the fillets from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly in the same skillet or a toaster.
To assemble the sandwiches, spread a generous tablespoon of the prepared tartar sauce on the bottom half of each bun.
Place a fried fish fillet on top of the tartar sauce, followed by a slice of cheddar cheese.
Finish by placing the top half of the bun. Serve immediately.
