Ingredients

• 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod or tilapia)
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups cornmeal
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
• 0.5 cups mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons pickle relish
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 1 large tomato (sliced)
• 4 pieces sandwich buns

Directions

Step 1

Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and set them aside.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, cornmeal, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk to create an egg wash.

Step 4

Coat each fish fillet in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg wash, and finally coat again in the flour mixture. Place coated fillets on a plate and set aside.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the fish fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and pickle relish to create the tangy sauce.

Step 7

Lightly toast the sandwich buns either in a toaster or on a dry skillet over medium heat.

Step 8

Assemble the sandwiches by spreading a generous amount of the tangy sauce on the bottom bun, layering a piece of lettuce, a tomato slice, one crispy fish fillet, and finishing with the top bun.

Step 9

Serve the sandwiches warm and enjoy!
