CRISPY BAKED FISH WITH TARTAR SAUCE



Crispy Baked Fish With Tartar Sauce image

Charming fish shacks and salty sea air aren't a weeknight possibility for most of us, but thankfully, this recipe is. It features a clever technique from recipe developer Molly Kreuger: Creamy tartar sauce is spread on the fish to add flavor, keep the fillets moist during cooking and help the bread crumbs adhere to the fish. (Feel free to use your favorite tartar sauce in place of the one below.) The fish is baked until nearly cooked through, then broiled to toast the breadcrumb topping. The end result is crispy, creamy, tangy and moist, all of which is achieved without having to deal with a big pot of oil. Eat with more tartar sauce and a squeeze of lemon.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup mayonnaise
5 tablespoons capers, drained and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped pickles (such as cornichons or half sour)
2 tablespoons finely chopped tarragon, dill or parsley
1 teaspoon Worcestershire or soy sauce
1 small garlic clove
1 large lemon
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing
4 (6-ounce) thick white fish fillets, such as halibut or cod (skin on or off)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees and set a rack in the upper part. In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, capers, pickles, herbs and Worcestershire sauce. Using a Microplane, finely grate the garlic into the bowl, then grate in the zest of the lemon. (Hold onto the lemon; you'll use the juice later.) Stir to combine and season the tartar sauce to taste with salt and lots of pepper.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the panko and olive oil; season with salt and pepper.
  • Pat the fish dry on all sides and season lightly all over with salt and pepper. Transfer to a lightly greased or foil-lined sheet pan. Coat the top with a thin layer of the tartar sauce (a scant tablespoon per fillet). Sprinkle the panko evenly on top (about 2 tablespoons per fillet), pressing gently to adhere.
  • Bake the fish on the top rack until almost cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes for fillets between ½- and ¾-inch-thick (though you should check earlier, if using a thinner fish). An instant-read thermometer should read somewhere between 125 and 130 degrees when inserted into the thickest part of the fish.
  • Meanwhile, add 1 tablespoon juice from the lemon to the tartar sauce and cut the remaining lemon into 4 wedges for serving.
  • When the fish is nearly cooked through, switch the oven to broil. Broil the fish on the top rack until the bread crumbs are golden and the fish flakes easily and registers 140 degrees in the thickest part, 2 to 3 minutes. Eat with a spoonful of tartar sauce, more black pepper and a squeeze of lemon. (Any extra tartar sauce will keep for up to a week in the fridge.)

LUBY'S FRIED FISH AND TARTAR SAUCE



Luby's Fried Fish and Tartar Sauce image

The crust on this cod sticks perfectly, fried up golden brown and crisp. We've never had fried fish from Luby's so we can't speak to its authenticity... but we can say this is mighty good fried cod. There are not a lot of seasonings in the recipe, so the flavor of the fish shines. The homemade tartar sauce is the perfect...

1 c all-purpose flour

  • 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, salt, and pepper.

  • 4. Dip into buttermilk mixture.
  • 5. Then crackers coating evenly and pressing crackers firmly onto fish.

OVEN-BAKED FISH STICKS WITH EASY TARTAR SAUCE (KID-FRIENDLY)



Oven-Baked Fish Sticks With Easy Tartar Sauce (Kid-Friendly) image

Although cod is stated in the ingredients this recipe will work good using tilapia or white fish fillets. This will serve about 3 people, but can be easily doubled. The already crushed cornflake crumbs that you purchase in a small box will not work as well for this recipe, the texture is too fine and the fish sticks will not be as crispy, try to use regular cornflakes cereal and grind them in your processor. You can double the tartar sauce recipe if you prefer more sauce, try to make the sauce even up to a day ahead to blend flavors. This is a great recipe for kids of all ages LOL!

ENGLISH SEASIDE TANGY TARTAR SAUCE FOR FISH AND CHIPS



English Seaside Tangy Tartar Sauce for Fish and Chips image

Whitby and Scarborough on the North Yorkshire coast of England were the places of inspiration for me with this recipe, they specialise in locally caught fish, perfect for this iconic English dish. Whereas fish and chips are usually only accompanied by salt and vinegar (Malt vinegar please!) when eaten out of newspaper, when eaten in a Fish and Chip Cafe or Restaurant, you are always served this tartar sauce with your meal, tangy and wonderful with the fish especially and a squeeze of lemon. If I close my eyes I can almost imagine the sun on my face and the salty smell in the air, with seagulls wheeling around above, and the smell of that special supper or lunch to follow, after exploring the little cobbled streets. This is a bit of a cheats version as it uses ready made mayonnaise; however, if you do make your own, then please use your own home-made mayo for this recipe, as I often do. Now all you need is a sun hat, a deck chair and plenty of time to do nothing before enjoying your fish supper!

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

Tartar sauce:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup finely grated lemon zest
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp. sweet relish
1 Tbsp. chopped drained capers
1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 small garlic clove, finely grated
Kosher salt
Fish and assembly:
2 Tbsp. Old Bay seasoning
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
3/4 cup all-purpose flour, divided
3/4 cup cornstarch, divided
5-6 mini seedless or Persian cucumbers
1/3 cup seasoned rice vinegar
8 potato rolls
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg, beaten to blend
3/4 cup light beer
8 (4-oz.) pieces skinless, boneless firm whitefish fillets (3/4"-1" thick)
1/2 cup very coarsely chopped dill
Vegetable oil (for frying; about 6 cups)
Kosher salt
Lettuce leaves (for serving)
Special Equipment
A deep-fry thermometer

Steps:

  • Tartar Sauce
  • Mix mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice, relish, capers, mustard, and garlic in a small bowl to combine; season with salt.
  • Fish and assembly:
  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Whisk Old Bay seasoning, baking powder, cayenne, 1/2 cup flour, and 1/2 cup cornstarch in a medium bowl. Whisk remaining 1/4 cup flour and 1/4 cup cornstarch in another medium bowl.
  • Set a deep cast-iron skillet or large Dutch oven fitted with thermometer on grill; pour in oil to come 1" up sides. Heat until thermometer registers 375°F.
  • Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumbers lengthwise. Toss in a third medium bowl with vinegar and gently massage with your hands to soften them slightly. Let sit, tossing occasionally, at room temperature at least 10 minutes.
  • Lightly brush insides of rolls with butter and grill just until toasted, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate.
  • Gently whisk egg and beer in a small bowl to combine, then gently whisk into Old Bay mixture in 3 additions. Working in 2 batches, season fish lightly with salt. Dredge in flour mixture, knocking off any excess, then dip into batter and lift up with a fork, letting excess drain off and wiping against side of bowl to eliminate any thick drips. (Batter should completely coat the fish without looking clumpy.)
  • Carefully lower fish into oil and fry, turning halfway through, until deeply browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of each piece registers 125°F-130°F, 7-9 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a wire rack set inside a baking sheet.
  • Drain most of vinegar from cucumbers and toss in dill. Build sandwiches with fried fish, cucumbers, lettuce, and tartar sauce.
  • Do Ahead
  • Cucumbers (without dill) can be pickled 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.
