Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces White fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise (soy-free)
- 2 tablespoons Dill pickles
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 2 slices American cheese slices
- 2 pieces Burger buns
- 2 pieces Lettuce leaves
Instructions
Start by preparing the tartar sauce. Finely chop the dill pickles and mix them with the soy-free mayonnaise and lemon juice in a small bowl. Set aside for the flavors to meld.
Prepare the batter by whisking together the flour, water, baking powder, salt, and ground black pepper in a medium mixing bowl until smooth.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and lightly season with a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. The oil is ready when a small drop of batter sizzles immediately upon contact.
Dip each fish fillet into the batter, ensuring it is completely coated, and carefully lower it into the hot oil.
Fry the fillets for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
While the fish is frying, lightly toast the burger buns in a toaster or on a pan until warm and slightly crisp.
Assemble the sandwiches by spreading a generous layer of tartar sauce on the top half of each bun.
Place a piece of lettuce on the bottom bun, followed by a fried fish fillet, a slice of American cheese, and finally, cover with the top bun.
Serve immediately while the fish is hot and the cheese is melted.
