Ingredients

  • 2 pieces Cod fillets
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 large Egg
  • 2 tablespoons Water
  • 0.75 cup Breadcrumbs
  • 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
  • 4 tablespoons Tartar sauce
  • 2 pieces Cheddar cheese slices
  • 2 pieces Hamburger buns

Directions

Step 1

Start by seasoning the cod fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Prepare three separate bowls: one with the all-purpose flour, one with the beaten egg mixed with water, and one with breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Dredge each cod fillet in the flour, shaking off excess. Then dip the fillets into the egg mixture, and finally coat them evenly with the breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough so a breadcrumb sizzles when dropped in.

Step 5

Carefully place the breaded fillets into the hot oil and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and the crust is golden brown. Transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 6

While the fish is frying, lightly toast the hamburger buns in a separate dry pan until slightly golden.

Step 7

Assemble the sandwiches by spreading 1 tablespoon of tartar sauce on the bottom half of each bun.

Step 8

Place a cooked fish fillet on top of the tartar sauce, followed by a slice of cheddar cheese.

Step 9

Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
