Directions

Step 1

Start by patting the grouper fillets dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine flour, cornmeal, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

In another shallow dish, whisk together the egg and milk.

Step 4

Dip each grouper fillet into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Carefully place the coated fillets into the hot oil and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Remove the fillets from the oil and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 9

While the fish cools slightly, butter the hamburger buns and toast them in a separate pan or toaster until golden brown.

Step 10

To assemble the sandwich, spread tartar sauce on the bottom half of each bun.

Step 11

Place the crispy grouper fillet on top of the tartar sauce.

Step 12

Top each fillet with a leaf of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and a couple of pickle slices.

Step 13

Finish by placing the top bun and enjoy your crispy grouper sandwich.
