Yield Makes 4

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.

I season these fish fillets with lime juice and lemon pepper before grilling them. A simple honey mustard-mayonnaise sauce puts the sandwiches ahead of the rest. -Violet Beard, Marshall, Illinois

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.
