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.

GRILLED FISH SANDWICHES FOR TWO



Grilled Fish Sandwiches for Two image

If you are in a hurry to get dinner on the table, these grilled fish sandwiches will be ready in less time than it takes to preheat the grill! To make things even quicker, I used a purchased remoulade sauce, but there are some great recipes for remoulade here on the site. We like simple toppings of lettuce and sliced tomatoes, but feel free to add your favorite sandwich toppings, if you prefer!

Time 20m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
½ teaspoon Creole seasoning
2 (6 ounce) fillets cod fillets
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 each sub-style sandwich rolls, split
6 leaves romaine lettuce
4 slices tomato
2 tablespoons remoulade sauce, or to taste

Steps:

  • Clean the grates of an outdoor grill, and preheat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Melt butter and stir in Creole seasoning and smoked paprika.
  • Pat fillets dry with a paper towel, and brush each side with the seasoned butter mixture.
  • Carefully oil grill grates and place fillets on the grill for 1 minute. Gently rotate the fish on the grate 60 to 90 degrees, to make grill marks, and continue grilling for 1 more minute. With a fish turner, turn fillets over and grill for 1 minute. Rotate and grill for 1 more minute. Fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
  • Open sandwich rolls and place Romaine leaves and grilled fish inside. Top with tomato slices. Add remoulade sauce and serve.

FRIED FISH SANDWICH



Fried Fish Sandwich image

This fried fish sandwich doesn't stray far from the classic fast-food staple: breaded fish, a soft bun, a slice of cheese and tangy tartar sauce. The best part is you can put it together in just about the amount of time it would take to stand in line and order it at the counter. Capers, shallots and fresh dill make this tartar sauce feel a little fancy, but a splash of soy sauce adds the umami that takes it to a very familiar place. Flounder is an affordable choice for the recipe, but if you can't find it, substitute with sole or any mild flat fish.

Time 20m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup bread and butter pickle chips, finely chopped, plus 1 tablespoon pickle brine
1 small shallot, finely chopped
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons (drained) capers, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon soy sauce or tamari
Kosher salt
1 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups panko bread crumbs
4 flounder fillets (about 1 pound), halved crosswise
Kosher salt
4 soft white buns
4 slices American cheese or Cheddar

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.

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 small red onion, thinly sliced into rounds
4 oz. bread-and-butter pickles, plus 1/2 cup brine
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup chopped dill
2 tsp. hot sauce
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp. fresh lemon juice, plus wedges for serving
1 Tbsp. kosher salt, divided
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 flounder fillets (about 2/3 lb. total), cut in half crosswise on a diagonal
2/3 cup vegetable oil
3 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
8 slices Pullman bread
1 cup potato chips, plus more for serving

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.
