Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod or tilapia)
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cups mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons pickle relish
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato (sliced)
- 4 pieces sandwich buns
Instructions
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and set them aside.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, cornmeal, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk to create an egg wash.
Coat each fish fillet in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg wash, and finally coat again in the flour mixture. Place coated fillets on a plate and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the fish fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and pickle relish to create the tangy sauce.
Lightly toast the sandwich buns either in a toaster or on a dry skillet over medium heat.
Assemble the sandwiches by spreading a generous amount of the tangy sauce on the bottom bun, layering a piece of lettuce, a tomato slice, one crispy fish fillet, and finishing with the top bun.
Serve the sandwiches warm and enjoy!
