Ingredients for Fish Fillet Sandwich
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 2 pieces tilapia fillets, cut in half to fit on the buns
- Olive oil spray or non-stick cooking spray
- 4 pieces hamburger buns
- 4 slices American cheese
- 1 cup lettuce, shredded
Ingredients for Tartar Sauce
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped pickles
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Gather all your ingredients. Ensure the tilapia fillets are thawed if previously frozen, and cut them in half if needed to fit your hamburger buns.
- Step 2: In one bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In a second bowl, beat the two eggs. In a third bowl, place the bread crumbs.
- Step 3: Dredge each piece of tilapia in the flour mixture, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat in the bread crumbs.
- Step 4: Preheat a skillet over medium heat and grease it with olive oil spray. Cook the breaded fish fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Step 5: Toast the hamburger buns and assemble the sandwiches with a cooked fish fillet, a slice of cheese, shredded lettuce, and tartar sauce.
- Step 6: For the tartar sauce, mix mayonnaise, chopped pickles, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl.
- Step 7: Serve your sandwiches immediately with your favorite sides.
Notes
For extra crunch, use panko bread crumbs. Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the fish for a golden color.
