Ingredients
breaded fish fillets
- 2 cod fillets (~6 ounces each)
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
assembly
- 2 slices American cheese
- 1/4 recipe tartare sauce
- 2 Brioche buns lightly toasted
Instructions
- Dry each fillet with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper.
- In a shallow baking dish combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, and dry mustard. Whisk together.
- In another shallow baking dish combine eggs, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Whisk together until fully combined.
- Finally sprinkle panko into a third shallow baking dish.
- Dredge each fillet in the flour mixture and shake off excess. Next dredge fillets in the egg mixture, shaking off excess and finally the panko crumbs until fully coated.
- Transfer coated fillets to a baking sheet lined with a cooling rack and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oil to 350˚F (and oven to 350˚F). Fry fillets for 3 to 4 minutes, flip and continue to fry for an additional 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer fried fish back to the baking sheet lined with a cooling rack.
- Immediately top fillets with sliced cheese. Transfer fillets into oven and bake for 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese just starts to melt. Remove from oven.
- Spread tartare sauce onto the top and bottom of each bun.
- Place a cheese covered fillet onto each of the bottom buns and gently press top buns over each fillet. Serve.
Notes
- Oven Baked Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400˚F. Generously spray each side of the breaded fillets with cooking spray. Place fillets onto a baking sheet lined with a cooling rack and bake for 15 minutes. Gently flip each fillet and continue to bake for an additional 7 to 8 minutes. Flip fillets once more, top with sliced cheese and bake for 1 more minute.
- Air Fryer Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 400˚F. Generously spray each side of the breaded fillets with cooking spray. Add fillets to air fryer basket, about 1/2 inch to 1 inch apart. Air fry for 10 minutes. Carefully flip each fillet and continue to air fry for 5 minutes. Flip each fillet again, top with sliced cheese and air fry for 1 minute.
