Breaded Fish Burger Recipe

American · Main course · 25 min total

Crispy breaded fish fillets paired with fresh lettuce and tangy tartar sauce, all tucked into soft burger buns for a satisfying meal.

Ingredients

• 4 (6 oz each) white fish fillets (cod or haddock)
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 4 burger buns, split and toasted
• 4 leaves lettuce
• 4 slices tomato
• 1/2 cup tartar sauce
• Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

1. Pat fish fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.
2. Set up a breading station: Place flour in a shallow dish, beaten eggs in another, and panko in a third.
3. Dredge each fillet in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into egg, then coat with panko, pressing gently to adhere.
4. Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
5. Fry fillets for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
6. Spread tartar sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Top with lettuce, tomato, and a fish fillet. Close with bun top.

Tips

• Use a thermometer to ensure oil stays at 350°F for even frying.
• To keep warm, place cooked fillets on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven while frying remaining batches.
• Substitute tartar sauce with remoulade or a squeeze of lemon for variation.
