INGREDIENTS

  • Fish Coating

    • 🧂 1 teaspoon kosher salt
    • 🥚 1 large egg
    • 🍶 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
    • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
    • 1 tablespoon corn starch
    • 🌾 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
    • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
    • 🍞 2 cups panko
    • 💧 2 teaspoons tap water

  • Assembly

    • 🐟 4 fish fillets (recommend cod)
    • 🥯 4 hamburger buns
    • 🧀 4 slices American cheese
    • 8 tablespoons tartar sauce
    • Vegetable oil for frying

STEPS

1

Pour oil to a depth of 2 inches in a large Dutch oven; heat oil over medium-high to 360°F (182°C). Preheat oven to 200°F (93°C). Set a wire rack inside a large rimmed baking sheet.

2

Pat fillets dry and sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon salt. In a shallow bowl, whisk together egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, corn starch, flour, paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Place panko in another bowl. Coat fillets in the egg mixture, then panko.

3

Fry fillets in oil until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Place cooked fillets on a wire rack and keep warm in preheated oven.

4

Place bottom buns on a plate with cheese slices, cover lightly damp paper towel with an inverted glass bowl, and microwave for 15-20 seconds to steam. Microwave top buns for 10-15 seconds.

5

Top bottom buns with fried fish, add 2 tablespoons tartar sauce per sandwich, and cover with the top bun. Serve immediately.
