Ingredients
- 4 fish fillets (cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 sandwich buns
- 1 cup pickled red onions
- 1/2 cup tartar sauce
- Fresh lettuce or cabbage (optional)
Preparation Steps
Start by preparing the fish fillets. Season them with salt, pepper, and paprika. Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
Dredge each fillet first in flour, then in egg, and finally coat thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs. Ensure each piece is evenly coated for maximum crunch.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded fish fillets and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
While the fish cooks, prepare the pickled red onions if they are not ready. You can make quick pickled onions by soaking sliced red onions in vinegar with a pinch of sugar and salt for at least 30 minutes.
To assemble the sandwiches, spread tartar sauce on the bottom bun. Add a layer of lettuce or cabbage if desired, then place the crispy fish fillet on top. Spoon pickled red onions over the fish, then cover with the top bun.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your crispy fish sandwiches with a side of crispy fries, coleslaw, or a fresh green salad. For an extra touch, add slices of tomato or pickles for more flavor and texture.
This recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a weekend treat. The combination of crispy fish, tangy pickled onions, and creamy tartar sauce makes every bite delicious.
