Categories main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 cup mayonnaise (I prefer Duke's)
2 to 3 tablespoons chopped dill pickles
1 tablespoon capers
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
1 teaspoon sugar
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Canola oil, for frying
6 whiting fish fillets
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
Juice of 1 lemon

Steps:

For the dill tartar sauce: Mix the mayonnaise, pickles, capers, lemon juice, dill and sugar in a bowl. Taste and add salt and pepper to your liking.
For the fried fish: Heat 1 1/2 inches of oil in a deep skillet (I use cast iron) on medium heat until the oil reaches about 375 degrees F.
Clean the fish with cold water and dry just a tad; the fish should be a little wet to help the cornmeal mixture stick to it. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper on the fish. Add the cornmeal and flour to a paper bag. Sprinkle in the Cajun seasoning. Add the fish to the flour mixture and coat each piece evenly. Transfer the breaded fish to a plate or cutting board.
Lay the fish into the oil in batches and fry until they start to float and are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Rest them on a rack to let the extra oil run off. Squeeze a little lemon juice on top. Serve with the tartar sauce.

EASY PAN-FRIED FISH FILLETS AND TARTAR SAUCE

Make certain to prepare the tartar sauce at least a few hours in advance to blend flavors, the crushed saltines makes a wonderful coating for the fish, but make certain that they are finely crushed! I like whitefish, pickerel fillets, tilapia or sole for this, but any thinner fish fillets will do.

Tips:

Choose a firm-fleshed fish for best results, such as cod, haddock, or tilapia.
Cut the fish into even-sized strips for even cooking.
Soak the fish in milk for 10-15 minutes before breading to help tenderize it and prevent it from drying out.
Use a light hand when breading the fish to avoid a thick coating that can overpower the fish.
Fry the fish in hot oil until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Drain the fish on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the fish fingers with tartar sauce, lemon wedges, and your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

These fried fish fingers are a quick and easy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the tartar sauce adds a delicious tangy flavor. Serve these fish fingers with your favorite sides for a complete meal that is sure to please everyone.
