Ingredients

• 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod or haddock)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup cold sparkling water
• 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon wasabi paste
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely grated
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 4 burger buns
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 0.5 cup sliced cucumber
• 1 carrot, julienned

Directions

Step 1

Pat the fish fillets dry using paper towels and set them aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the cold sparkling water, whisking until the batter is smooth.

Step 3

Place the panko breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Season the breadcrumbs with black pepper.

Step 4

Dip each fish fillet into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off, then press it into the seasoned panko breadcrumbs, coating it evenly.

Step 5

In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully fry the coated fish fillets in batches for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, wasabi paste, grated ginger, and lemon juice until smooth. Set the sauce aside.

Step 7

Toast the burger buns lightly in a dry skillet or toaster, if desired.

Step 8

Assemble the sandwiches: Spread a generous layer of the wasabi-ginger sauce on both halves of each bun. Layer with lettuce, cucumber slices, and julienned carrot. Place a crispy fish fillet on top and close the sandwich.

Step 9

Serve the Crispy Fish Sandwiches fresh and warm. Enjoy!
