Ingredients
- 4 white fish fillets (cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 sandwich buns
- Fresh lettuce leaves
- Optional: sliced pickles or tomatoes
Homemade Tartar Sauce
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons chopped dill pickles
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon capers (optional)
- ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation Steps
Start by preparing the tartar sauce. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, chopped pickles, lemon juice, capers, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Next, prepare the fish fillets. Season them with salt and pepper. 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 dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil. Cook the fish fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
While the fish cooks, lightly toast the sandwich buns if desired. Assemble the sandwiches by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, adding the cooked fish fillet, and topping with tartar sauce. Add optional sliced pickles or tomatoes for extra flavor.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes. Enjoy a shellfish-free fish sandwich that’s quick, tasty, and perfect for any occasion!
