Filet-O-Fish Meal Recipe

American · Main course · 35 min total

A homemade version of the classic fast-food fish sandwich, featuring a crispy breaded fish fillet, melted cheese, and tangy tartar sauce on a soft bun, served with crispy fries.

Ingredients

• 4 (6-ounce) cod fillets
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• Vegetable oil for frying
• 4 slices American cheese
• 4 soft hamburger buns
• 1/2 cup tartar sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 4 large potatoes, cut into fries
• Salt for fries

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 200°F (93°C) to keep cooked fries and fish warm. Cut potatoes into fries, toss with oil and salt, and bake at 425°F (218°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway.
2. Pat cod fillets dry. In a shallow dish, mix flour, salt, pepper, and paprika. In another dish, whisk egg and milk. Place panko in a third dish.
3. Dredge each fillet in flour mixture, then dip in egg mixture, then coat with panko, pressing gently.
4. Heat 1/2 inch oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). Fry fillets for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
5. Place a slice of cheese on each fillet. Lightly toast buns in a dry skillet or oven.
6. Spread tartar sauce on bottom buns. Place fish with cheese on top, then close with top buns.
7. Serve immediately with hot fries.

Tips

• For extra crispy fish, double coat by repeating the flour-egg-panko steps.
• Homemade tartar sauce: mix 1/2 cup mayo, 2 tbsp pickle relish, 1 tsp lemon juice, and 1 tsp capers (optional).
• If not serving immediately, keep fish and fries warm in the oven on a wire rack.
