- 4 brioche buns
- 4 white fish fillets cod or haddock cut into quarters
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 eggs beaten
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- Tartar sauce
- Red cabbage shredded
- Lettuce
- Lemon wedges for serving optional
- Vegetable oil enough to fill pan by 1 inch
Preheat oven to broil and raise rack to top.
Prepare your fish by first patting dry.
Season both sides of fish with salt and pepper.
Add onion powder and garlic powder to flour. Mix until combined.
Dredge each fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess, dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat in panko breadcrumbs.
Heat one inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat, reaching 350 degrees F. Once hot, add the fish fillets and cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side.
While the fish is cooking, place your brioche buns on a baking sheet and toast under the broiler until golden brown.
Lay the cooked fish on paper towel to absorb any grease.
To assemble the sandwiches, spread a generous amount of tartar sauce on the top and bottom half of each toasted brioche bun.
Lay a piece of cheddar cheese on the bottom half and place the crispy fish on top.
Lay a piece of lettuce, followed by a handful of shredded red cabbage and the top half of your brioche bun.
Serve your delicious crispy fish sandwiches with lemon wedges and chips on the side if desired.
- Nutritional value is calculated without the tartar sauce, lettuce or cabbage.
- Brioche buns our are favorite but any bun will work.
- Toasting the buns really gives this a nice base for the fish and toppings to be held together.
- The cheese is optional, but highly recommended.
- This can be made in the oven or air fryer, see my tips above.
- Use your own homemade tartar sauce or storebought.
- We do not recommend freezing this recipe.
- Other toppings can be used per your preference.
- Make sure that the internal temperature of the fish is at least 145 degrees F.
