• Coat tofu slices in breading, and fry in 1/4 inch of oil in a pan for about 5 minutes on each side.
• Remove from pan and drain on paper towel.
• Make tartar sauce by mixing mayo, pickle, and onion well in a small bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
• Serve on a bun.

CRISPY VEGAN FISH FILLET SANDWICHES WITH TARTAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Grab one of your tofu blocks and cut about one third off of the end, so that the remaining portion is square. Cut the square in half, thickness-wise, so you have two square shaped slabs.
• Repeat using the other block of tofu. You'll be using the square shaped slabs for the sandwiches. Save the remaining tofu for another use.
• Whisk all of the ingredients for the marinade together in a small bowl or liquid measuring cup.
• Place the tofu slabs into a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Allow the tofu to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes, or longer in the refrigerator.
• While the tofu marinates, stir the ingredients for the tartar sauce together in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate the sauce until ready to use.
• When the tofu is almost finished marinating, whisk all of the batter ingredients together in a medium bowl.
• Stir the breading ingredients together in a separate medium bowl.
• Pour about a half inch of oil into a medium (preferably cast iron) skillet and place it over medium heat. Give the oil a few minutes to heat up.
• When the oil begins to shimmer, grab one of your tofu slabs. Dredge it in the breading mixture.
• Transfer the tofu slab to the batter mixture, and carefully dip both sides to coat.
• Return the tofu to the breading mixture and coat all sides a second time.
• Carefully place the tofu into the hot oil. Repeat for as many tofu slabs as you can fit into the skillet without crowding. You can cook the rest in a second batch.
• Cook the tofu slabs for about 5 minutes on each side, until golden and crispy.
• Transfer the cooked tofu slabs to a paper towel-lined plate.
• To serve, place a tofu slab inside each bun. Top with tartar sauce, lettuce, tomato, and pickle slices. Serve.
