Instructions
Make The Fish Fillets:
- Pat the fish fillets dry and season them evenly with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Set up a breading station of three bowls: one with flour, another with beaten eggs, and a third with panko breadcrumbs.
- Dredge each fillet in the flour, dip it into the egg, then coat it completely with panko breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate.
- Heat a thin layer of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (about 350°F). Fry the breaded fish until golden and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Lightly toast the buns.
Make The Tartar Sauce:
- In a separate bowl, combine the light mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir well and set aside.
Assemble The Sandwiches:
- Spread a generous layer of tartar sauce on the bottom bun, add a lettuce leaf if desired, and place a fried fish fillet on top. Cap with the top bun and serve immediately.
