Filet Sandwich

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish Fillet

    Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading Station

    In one bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. In a third bowl, place the cornmeal.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Bread the Fish

    Dip each fish fillet first into the flour, coating both sides. Shake off the excess flour, then dip into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the fillet in cornmeal, pressing gently to adhere.

  2. 4

    Fry the Fish

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded fish fillets. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    To assemble the sandwich, slice the fresh buns in half. Place a layer of lettuce on the bottom half, followed by the fried fish fillet, a slice of tomato, and a generous dollop of tartar sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.
