Fish Fillet Sandwich Recipe

American · Main course · 25 min total

A crispy, golden fish fillet served on a soft bun with tartar sauce and fresh lettuce, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

• 4 (6-ounce) white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 4 tablespoons vegetable oil, for frying
• 4 hamburger buns, split and toasted
• 1/2 cup tartar sauce
• 4 leaves lettuce
• 4 slices tomato

Instructions

1. Pat fish fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, and cayenne if using.
2. Set up a breading station: place flour in a shallow dish. Beat eggs in another shallow dish. Place panko in a third dish.
3. Dredge each fillet in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into egg, letting excess drip off, then coat with panko, pressing gently to adhere.
4. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry fillets for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 145°F). Drain on paper towels.
5. Spread tartar sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Top with lettuce, tomato slice, and a fish fillet. Cover with bun top. Serve immediately.

Tips

• For extra crunch, use fresh panko and do not overcrowd the pan.
• Substitute tartar sauce with remoulade or a squeeze of lemon.
• Store leftover cooked fillets in the fridge and reheat in a toaster oven for crispiness.
