Filet O Fish Sandwich Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, add Panko and simply toast it until lightly brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a measuring cup to cool off.
• When cooled, take 2/3rds and grind it in a spice grinder. Transfer both, the fine and the course breadcrumbs to a shallow dish, stir to blend and set aside.
• In a deep bowl, add an egg and beat it well before adding Dijon mustard, Miracle Whip, hot paprika, salt and pepper. Stir until the ingredients are nicely combined and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350ºF/177ºC.
• Pat dry the fish fillets very well on both sides using paper towels. Cut them as square as possible and slightly bigger than the brioche buns - if there are little pieces of leftovers, reuse them for fish cakes, in a stew or bouillabaisse.
• Working with one at a time, dip a piece of fish into the egg mixture and coat it well before transferring it to the breadcrumbs making sure it sticks very well by pressing down on them. Shake to remove any excess crumbs and place each coated piece on a baking sheet lined with lightly greased foil. Spray them with cooking spray and transfer to the preheated oven; bake for 15 minutes.
• When time is up, remove from the heat and assemble the sandwiches... First, place a slice of processed cheese on the bottom bun followed by a baked fish fillet then topped generously with tartar sauce and lastly, place the top bun on top. Makes 4 sandwiches.

Steps:

• For the tartar sauce: Mix together the mayonnaise, relish, capers, dill, lemon juice, salt, pepper, sugar and onion in a bowl and refrigerate.
• For the fish: Sprinkle the lemon juice over the fish fillets. Combine the milk, eggs, salt and pepper in a shallow bowl. Put the flour on a large plate. Combine the panko and seafood seasoning on another.
• Heat 2 inches oil to 350 degrees F in a large Dutch oven.
• One at a time, dip the fish into the flour, then the egg and milk mixture, then the panko. Set on another plate or small baking sheet. Place the fish in the oil and fry, turning once, for 3 to 4 minutes total (if you are using the shallow-frying method, cook both sides until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes). Transfer the fish with tongs to a plate lined with paper towels or a wire rack set in a baking sheet. (I like to hit my fish with a little salt and lemon juice while it's hot.)
• Meanwhile, toast the buns, by melting the butter in a pan and cooking them in it or by buttering the buns and broiling them until slightly golden.
• Top the bun bottoms with the cheese and the fish, then spread the bun tops with tartar sauce and top your sandwiches.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Put a large sheet tray in oven and heat it for 1/2 hour.
• Begin by patting the halibut fillet dry. If you have a tail end piece cut the fillet down the middle so you can invert the 2 pieces next to each other to form a nice rectangular shape that matches the bread. Set up a breading station with flour, beaten egg and milk, and bread crumbs in separate containers. Season with salt and pepper. Dip each fillet into the flour, egg mixture, and then panko. Set aside on a tray at room temperature to let the coating set.
• Pull out sheet tray from oven, add a 2-count of oil and transfer breaded fish to tray. Sprinkle with olive oil. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
• Combine lemon herb mayonnaise ingredients in a bowl and blend until well combined. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Split the baguette in half horizontally. Open it up and toast it in a hot oven until just warmed through. Smear each half with lemon herb mayonnaise and stack up arugula, tomato and avocado on 1 half. Top with crispy panko fish fillets and top with the other half of bread. Skewer in 2 places and cut across the middle. Serve with more lemon-herb mayonnaise on the side.

Steps:

• Prepare the tartar sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, pickles and pickle brine, shallot, dill, capers and soy sauce. Season with salt to taste and set aside. (Makes 3/4 cup.)
• Prepare the fried fish: Heat oil in a large, straight-sided skillet over medium. Place flour, eggs and panko in 3 separate medium shallow bowls. Season flounder on both sides with salt and dredge in flour, dusting off excess, then transfer to egg wash, allow excess to drip off, then coat with panko.
• Working in batches, fry about 4 breaded fillets at a time until golden brown and cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer to a wire rack and season with salt. Repeat with remaining fish.
• Assemble the sandwiches: Spread tartar sauce on both sides of each bun. Place 1 piece of fried fish on each bottom bun, then add a slice of cheese on top and another piece of fish on the cheese. The residual heat from the fish will help melt the cheese. Sandwich together and serve immediately.
