Bonnies Fish Sandwiches Recipes

CRISPY FISH SANDWICH

Steps:

• Combine all coating ingredients in pie plate or shallow bowl; mix well. Set aside.
• Place additional 1/4 cup flour into another pie plate or shallow bowl. Place egg into separate pie plate or shallow bowl.
• Dip both sides of each fish fillet into plain flour; shake off excess. Dip both sides into egg mixture and then into breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides.
• Melt Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt in 10-inch skillet over medium heat until sizzling; place breaded fish fillets into skillet. Cook, turning once, 6-8 minutes or until coating is golden brown and fish flakes easily with fork.
• Place fish fillets onto bottom half of rolls; top with shredded romaine and tomato slices. Serve with your favorite spread for dipping sauce or spread. Cut each sandwich in half.

CRISPY FRIED FISH SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Stir together all ingredients. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Allow the fish to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Pat dry and season on both sides with salt and pepper, to taste.
• In a shallow dish, whisk together flour, cornmeal and baking powder. In a separate shallow dish, whisk together the egg and buttermilk.
• Pour the oil to a depth of 2 ½ inches in a Dutch oven or other heavy-bottomed pot. Heat the oil over medium-high heat to a temperature of about 375 degrees F.
• Dip each piece of fish in the egg mixture first, gently shaking off the excess, and then into the flour mixture to coat. Shake off any extra coating. Place the battered fish on a wire rack.
• Working in batches, if necessary, carefully place the fish in the hot oil. Cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Gently turn and cook until golden on the other side, about 3 more minutes. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper-towel lined tray. Lightly salt the fillets as soon as they come out of the oil.
• Place the first batch of fish in a 200 degree F oven to keep warm while you cook the second batch.
• Serve on buttered, toasted rolls with lettuce, tomato and tartar sauce.

BAKED FISH SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place the fish fillets in a shallow baking dish. Sprinkle with garlic, and squeeze lemon juice over them. Dot with pieces of butter.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Spread steak sauce on the cut side of the bottoms of the buns. Top with pieces of fish, then drizzle with Ranch dressing. Place the top buns over the filling, and serve.

CRISPY FISH SANDWICH

Steps:

• Combine onion, pickles, and pickle brine in a small bowl.
• Mix mayonnaise, dill, hot sauce, pepper, 2 tsp. lemon juice, and 1/2 tsp. salt in another small bowl.
• Place eggs, panko, and flour in 3 separate shallow medium bowls. Season each fish fillet with 1/2 tsp. salt. Working one at a time, dredge fish in flour, shaking off excess. Coat evenly with egg, allowing excess to drip back into bowl. Coat with panko, pressing to adhere. Transfer fish to a plate.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Cook fish until breading is golden brown and cooked through, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer fish to a paper towel-lined plate. Season fillets with 1/2 tsp. salt total.
• Spread 1 heaping Tbsp. mayonnaise mixture on one side of each slice of bread. Pile each bottom slice with 3/4 cup lettuce, 1 fish fillet, a small handful of potato chips, and 1/4 cup onion mixture. Close sandwich with second slice of bread, mayo side down, and push down lightly to crush potato chips. Transfer to a platter. Repeat with remaining sandwiches. Serve with lemon wedges and more potato chips alongside.
• Do Ahead: Pickled onions and dill sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.

BONNIE'S FISH SANDWICHES

Steps:

• MAKE THE TARTAR SAUCE AHEAD. Make one recipe of my Tartar Sauce so it has time to blend the flavors, 1/2 to 1 hour.
• PREPARE THE POTATOES. Cut into thick slices like the photo, about as thick as a french fry. Follow the recipe, place the potatoes on parchment paper and bake 35 minutes until golden brown and tender.
• PREPARE THE FISH. Blot the fish dry, dredge fish in the white cornmeal and black pepper, and drop into a nonstick frying pan with the oil that has been heated to medium high. Brown the fish to a nice golden brown on both sides. Do not salt. Keep warm.
• MAKE THE SANDWICHES. Your chips should be done by the time the fish is browned. To make the sandwiches, split the buns, place a filet on the bun and spoon the fresh tartar sauce on top. Add the potatoes, and dinner is ready! Enjoy!

THE ULTIMATE FISH FILLET SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350'.
• Place a baking sheet in oven and let heat up for a good 20-25 minutes while.
• (this is to help keep the fish crispy on bottom of the fish fillet) while preparing the fillets.
• Set up a breading station with 3 separate deep bowls or containers.
• Add flour, kosher salt and black pepper to one containter and set aside.
• In the 2nd containter, add egg and milk , whipped up together and adding a touch of salt and black pepper , and set aside.
• In the 3rd containter add Panko breadcrumbs with more salt and black pepper.
• Cut halibut tail into 2 pieces.
• Dip each halibut fillet into the flour mixture first than into the egg mixture, and than into the panko breading.
• Set each fillet onto a cutting board or a plate to let rest 5 minutes.
• (this is to let the breading mixture settle on the fish fillet).
• Bring out baking sheet from oven and sprinkle some olive oil over the pan.
• Place halibut fillets on hot baking sheet ( it should sizzle when placing on sleet).
• Bake 30 minutes or until a golden brown.
• Split open the french bread and spread butter over each slice of french bread.
• Toast bread in oven until a light golden brown.
• Add tarter sauce to each toasted side of bread.
• Add the fish fillet to one side of bread.
• Add avocado, tomato and romaine lettuce on top of fish.
• Top with other side of bread and serve.

BONNIES FRIED FISH (SOLE, CATFISH OR TALAPIA)

Steps:

• I use an electric skillet, but you can use a non-stick skillet. Pour in about 1/4 inch corn oil in the skillet over medium heat, or if using an electric skillet set it at 350 degrees, add a few drops of water and wait for it to sizzle and pop. When it starts to popping, it is hot enough to add the breaded fish.
• Combine the 1 cup of cornmeal and the 1 tablespoon of black pepper in a shallow pie plate. Dredge the prepared filets in the mixture on both sides of the fish and carefully put into the hot corn oil.
• Fry until nice and golden brown on both sides. Remove to a platter, sprinkle with salt and serve immediately.
• Cook's tip: I like to buy frozen filets for convenience, but fresh catfish, sole or talapia filets will work, too. I serve this with my Best Oven Baked Fries and Potato Wedges, and my Simple Romaine and Lettuce Salad, also on this site. Enjoy!

FRIED FISH SANDWICH

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.

GRILLED FISH SANDWICHES FOR TWO

Steps:

• Clean the grates of an outdoor grill, and preheat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Melt butter and stir in Creole seasoning and smoked paprika.
• Pat fillets dry with a paper towel, and brush each side with the seasoned butter mixture.
• Carefully oil grill grates and place fillets on the grill for 1 minute. Gently rotate the fish on the grate 60 to 90 degrees, to make grill marks, and continue grilling for 1 more minute. With a fish turner, turn fillets over and grill for 1 minute. Rotate and grill for 1 more minute. Fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
• Open sandwich rolls and place Romaine leaves and grilled fish inside. Top with tomato slices. Add remoulade sauce and serve.
