Assembly

Method

Fish

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading

    In a shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, and Cajun seasoning. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

  3. 3

    Bread the Fish

    Dip each redfish fillet into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour-cornmeal mixture until evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Fish

    In a large frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the breaded fish fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on paper towels to drain.

Asian Slaw

  1. 5

    Mix the Slaw Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro.

  2. 6

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar until the sugar dissolves.

  3. 7

    Combine Slaw and Dressing

    Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss until everything is well coated. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Fries

  1. 8

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the potatoes into fries, ensuring they are of even size for consistent cooking.

  2. 9

    Season the Fries

    In a bowl, toss the cut potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

  3. 10

    Bake the Fries

    Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Assembly

  1. 11

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the burger buns if desired.

  2. 12

    Assemble the Sandwiches

    Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, add a fried redfish fillet, top with a generous amount of Asian slaw, and add a slice of tomato before closing the sandwich with the top half of the bun.

  3. 13

    Serve

    Serve the fish sandwiches with a side of crispy fries.
