Crispy Fish Sandwich With Sriracha Mayo Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• Combine onion, pickles, and pickle brine in a small bowl.
• Mix mayonnaise, dill, hot sauce, pepper, 2 tsp. lemon juice, and 1/2 tsp. salt in another small bowl.
• Place eggs, panko, and flour in 3 separate shallow medium bowls. Season each fish fillet with 1/2 tsp. salt. Working one at a time, dredge fish in flour, shaking off excess. Coat evenly with egg, allowing excess to drip back into bowl. Coat with panko, pressing to adhere. Transfer fish to a plate.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Cook fish until breading is golden brown and cooked through, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer fish to a paper towel-lined plate. Season fillets with 1/2 tsp. salt total.
• Spread 1 heaping Tbsp. mayonnaise mixture on one side of each slice of bread. Pile each bottom slice with 3/4 cup lettuce, 1 fish fillet, a small handful of potato chips, and 1/4 cup onion mixture. Close sandwich with second slice of bread, mayo side down, and push down lightly to crush potato chips. Transfer to a platter. Repeat with remaining sandwiches. Serve with lemon wedges and more potato chips alongside.
• Do Ahead: Pickled onions and dill sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.

Steps:

• Spicy Mayonnaise: In a small bowl combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, hot sauce, and rice vinegar until blended. Set aside.
• Preheat oil in saute pan.
• Wash fillets and pat dry with a towel. Lightly sprinkle with Cajun seasoning on both sides.
• In one bowl, place flour mixed with 1 1/2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning. In a separate bowl place the panko and in a third bowl, beat together the egg, Dijon mustard and 1 1/2 tbs. water.
• Dredge fillets into flour, then the egg mixture and lastly, the panko. Add fish or chicken to oil and fry until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes depending on thickness. Remove to a paper towel lined platter.
• To assemble, spread the Spicy Mayonnaise mixture on both inner sides of the toasted pistolettes then layer within the hot fish (or chicken) fillets, romaine, tomatoes and onion slices.
• NOTE: For the chicken version, with a mallet pound skinless, boneless breast fillets to a 1/8" thickness then proceed with recipe instructions.
