Ingredients
Scale
Fish and Coating
- 4 cod fillets
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs, beaten
Sandwich
- 4 sandwich buns
- Lettuce leaves
- Tartar sauce
Cooking Oil
- Oil for frying (about 1 cup, preferably vegetable or canola oil)
Instructions
- Season the Fish: Season the cod fillets evenly with salt and black pepper to enhance the natural flavor of the fish.
- Coat the Fillets: Dredge each fillet in all-purpose flour, then dip into the beaten eggs to create a sticky surface, and finally coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs for a crispy texture when fried.
- Fry the Fillets: Heat enough oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry each cod fillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Prepare the Buns: Toast the sandwich buns lightly and spread tartar sauce on both cut sides to add flavor and moisture.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Place a fried cod fillet on the bottom half of each bun, add a few crisp lettuce leaves on top, then cover with the upper half of the bun. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use fresh cod fillets for the best texture and flavor.
- For extra crispiness, double coat the fish by repeating the egg and breadcrumb steps.
- Can be served with pickles or sliced tomatoes for added freshness.
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to avoid soggy coating.
- To make it gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour and breadcrumbs with gluten-free alternatives.
