Fish Fillets

Sandwich Assembly

Method

Prepare the Fish

  1. 1

    Make the Batter

    In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and cold water until smooth. The batter should be thick enough to coat the fish.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 3

    Fry the Fish

    Dunk each cod fillet into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, then carefully place it in the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Make the Tartar Sauce

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, dill pickles, lemon juice, capers, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.

Assemble the Sandwich

  1. 5

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the burger buns lightly on a skillet or in a toaster.

  2. 6

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a fried cod fillet, a slice of tomato, and a slice of cheese (if using).

  3. 7

    Add Tartar Sauce

    Spread a generous amount of tartar sauce on the top half of the bun.

  4. 8

    Complete the Sandwich

    Place the top half of the bun on the sandwich and serve immediately.
