Ingredients
- 2 pieces (4-6 oz. each) Cod fillets (or other white fish)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 Soft hamburger buns
- 2 American cheese slices
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Pickle relish
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Season the cod fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. Set aside.
Step 2
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, add panko breadcrumbs.
Step 3
Coat each cod fillet in flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs. Press gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well.
Step 4
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 1/4 inch deep.
Step 5
Fry the breaded fish fillets for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, pickle relish, and lemon juice to make a quick tartar sauce.
Step 7
Lightly toast the hamburger buns in a dry skillet or toaster.
Step 8
Assemble the sandwich by spreading the tartar sauce on the bottom half of the bun. Place the fried fish fillet on top, add a slice of American cheese, and finish with the top bun.
Step 9
Serve the Filet O Fish sandwiches warm and enjoy!
