Provided by Blair Lonergan

Categories     Dinner     Lunch

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 fresh skinless cod fillets (4-6 ounces each)
Salt and pepper, to taste
½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
½ cup buttermilk
Oil, for frying (I prefer peanut oil, but canola or vegetable oil will also work)
For serving: buttered and toasted sandwich rolls, lettuce, tomato and tartar sauce
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon or stone-ground mustard
1 tablespoon minced fresh dill or parsley (optional)
1 ½ tablespoons freshly-squeezed lemon juice
Salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Stir together all ingredients. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Allow the fish to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Pat dry and season on both sides with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • In a shallow dish, whisk together flour, cornmeal and baking powder. In a separate shallow dish, whisk together the egg and buttermilk.
  • Pour the oil to a depth of 2 ½ inches in a Dutch oven or other heavy-bottomed pot. Heat the oil over medium-high heat to a temperature of about 375 degrees F.
  • Dip each piece of fish in the egg mixture first, gently shaking off the excess, and then into the flour mixture to coat. Shake off any extra coating. Place the battered fish on a wire rack.
  • Working in batches, if necessary, carefully place the fish in the hot oil. Cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Gently turn and cook until golden on the other side, about 3 more minutes. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper-towel lined tray. Lightly salt the fillets as soon as they come out of the oil.
  • Place the first batch of fish in a 200 degree F oven to keep warm while you cook the second batch.
  • Serve on buttered, toasted rolls with lettuce, tomato and tartar sauce.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 1/2 tablespoons dill pickle relish
1 1/2 teaspoons capers
1 teaspoon dried dill
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Pinch kosher salt
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
Pinch sugar
1/4 onion, diced
1 tablespoon lemon juice, plus additional as desired
Three 6-ounce skinless boneless halibut fillets or steaks
1/3 cup milk
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus additional as desired
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1/2 tablespoon seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
Vegetable or canola oil, for frying
3 potato buns
Unsalted butter, for toasting the buns
3 slices American cheese

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.

THE ULTIMATE FISH FILLET SANDWICH

This recipe was inspired to me by Tyler Florence from the Food Network show. I wanted to share the recipe here but with a few changes that suits our families taste. Only changes that I made was replacing the tarter cream sauce he made, which was made up of mayonnaise,lemon juice, fresh parsley, basil,and chives, black pepper and olive oil and replacing it with my recipe for Recipe #114732 and replacing romaine lettuce for the arugula he used on the sandwich.
