Traditional Fish Filet Sandwich Recipes

MISS BROWN'S FISH FILLET SANDWICH

Steps:

• For the tartar sauce: Mix together the mayonnaise, relish, capers, dill, lemon juice, salt, pepper, sugar and onion in a bowl and refrigerate.
• For the fish: Sprinkle the lemon juice over the fish fillets. Combine the milk, eggs, salt and pepper in a shallow bowl. Put the flour on a large plate. Combine the panko and seafood seasoning on another.
• Heat 2 inches oil to 350 degrees F in a large Dutch oven.
• One at a time, dip the fish into the flour, then the egg and milk mixture, then the panko. Set on another plate or small baking sheet. Place the fish in the oil and fry, turning once, for 3 to 4 minutes total (if you are using the shallow-frying method, cook both sides until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes). Transfer the fish with tongs to a plate lined with paper towels or a wire rack set in a baking sheet. (I like to hit my fish with a little salt and lemon juice while it's hot.)
• Meanwhile, toast the buns, by melting the butter in a pan and cooking them in it or by buttering the buns and broiling them until slightly golden.
• Top the bun bottoms with the cheese and the fish, then spread the bun tops with tartar sauce and top your sandwiches.

• 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.

EASY FISH-O-FILLET SANDWICH WITH A SPICY TARTAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine and mix mayonnaise, finely grated onion, garlic, hot sauce, pickled jalapeños, cumin, chili powder and lemon juice in a bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Heat your oil in a medium non-stick skillet over a medium to medium-low heat.
• Set up your breading station: one plate with flour, one bowl with eggs combined with milk and mixed, and another plate with bread crumbs. Dry off your fish, season it with old bay seasoning and salt and pepper to taste then dip into flour, then egg, then bread crumbs. Place fish in hot pan. Depending on the thickness of your fish your cooking time will vary. You want the breading to get to a golden brown without burning it. An average thickness would take about 3-4 minutes per side. When in doubt, test the fish with a fork, if it flakes it is done. Continue this process with all of the fillets until finished. Melt butter in the microwave and combine with lemon juice. Drizzle over top of fish.
• Toast rolls and build your fish filet. Add spicy tartar sauce to top and bottom of rolls, add tomato and lettuce to top of bun, and as many pieces of fish to suite your liking.

EASY BREADED FISH FILLETS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray shallow baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. In shallow dish or pie pan, combine croutons, cheese, parsley flakes and paprika; mix well. In another shallow dish, combine egg, lemon juice and water; beat well.
• Cut fish fillets into serving-sized pieces. Dip in egg mixture, tucking thin ends of fish under to form pieces of uniform thickness. Dip fish in crouton mixture, patting gently to coat; place in sprayed pan. Spray fish with cooking spray for about 5 seconds.
• Bake at 350°F. for 10 to 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork.

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.
