FRIED FISH SANDWICH



Fried Fish Sandwich image

This fried fish sandwich doesn't stray far from the classic fast-food staple: breaded fish, a soft bun, a slice of cheese and tangy tartar sauce. The best part is you can put it together in just about the amount of time it would take to stand in line and order it at the counter. Capers, shallots and fresh dill make this tartar sauce feel a little fancy, but a splash of soy sauce adds the umami that takes it to a very familiar place. Flounder is an affordable choice for the recipe, but if you can't find it, substitute with sole or any mild flat fish.

Time 20m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup bread and butter pickle chips, finely chopped, plus 1 tablespoon pickle brine
1 small shallot, finely chopped
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons (drained) capers, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon soy sauce or tamari
Kosher salt
1 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups panko bread crumbs
4 flounder fillets (about 1 pound), halved crosswise
Kosher salt
4 soft white buns
4 slices American cheese or Cheddar

Steps:

  • Prepare the tartar sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, pickles and pickle brine, shallot, dill, capers and soy sauce. Season with salt to taste and set aside. (Makes 3/4 cup.)
  • Prepare the fried fish: Heat oil in a large, straight-sided skillet over medium. Place flour, eggs and panko in 3 separate medium shallow bowls. Season flounder on both sides with salt and dredge in flour, dusting off excess, then transfer to egg wash, allow excess to drip off, then coat with panko.
  • Working in batches, fry about 4 breaded fillets at a time until golden brown and cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer to a wire rack and season with salt. Repeat with remaining fish.
  • Assemble the sandwiches: Spread tartar sauce on both sides of each bun. Place 1 piece of fried fish on each bottom bun, then add a slice of cheese on top and another piece of fish on the cheese. The residual heat from the fish will help melt the cheese. Sandwich together and serve immediately.

Categories     Seafood     Fish     Tilapia

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound tilapia fillets, rinsed and patted dry
1 egg
⅓ cup milk
½ cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs (such as Progresso®)
2 teaspoons roasted onion flakes
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon blackened seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
2 pinches crushed red pepper flakes
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
¼ teaspoon freshly ground sea salt, or to taste
1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons butter

Steps:

  • Beat the egg with milk in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, roasted onion flakes, garlic, blackened seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes, black pepper, and sea salt.
  • Dip a tilapia fillet into the egg mixture, then press gently into the crumb mixture on both sides; set the coated fillet onto a plate. Repeat with remaining fillets; refrigerate the coated fillets for about 15 minutes to help set the crumbs.
  • Heat the olive oil and butter in a cast-iron frying pan over medium heat. Lay the fillets into the skillet, and pan-fry until golden brown on each side, about 3 minutes per side. The fish should be opaque and flaky underneath the coating. Remove and drain fillets on paper towels.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality fish. This will make a big difference in the taste of your sandwich.
  • Soak the fish in milk before frying. This will help to tenderize the fish and prevent it from drying out.
  • Use a light breading. A heavy breading will weigh down the fish and make it greasy.
  • Fry the fish in hot oil. This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause the fish to steam instead of fry.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately. This will ensure that the fish is hot and crispy.

Jimmy's Fried Fish Sandwich is a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for a quick and easy meal.
