Ingredients

• 4 pieces Cod fillets
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 Eggs
• 1 cup Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise (soy-free)
• 2 tablespoons Dill pickles
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Fresh dill
• 4 Hamburger buns
• 4 Cheddar cheese slices

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the tartar sauce. Finely chop the dill pickles and combine them with the soy-free mayonnaise, lemon juice, and fresh dill in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.

Step 2

Season the cod fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Dredge each cod fillet in the flour, making sure to coat both sides, and shake off any excess.

Step 5

Dip the floured fillet into the eggs, allowing the excess to drip off.

Step 6

Press the egg-coated fillet into the breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating. Set aside on a plate.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Once the oil is shimmering, carefully lay the breaded fish fillets in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

Remove the fillets from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 10

Toast the hamburger buns lightly in the same skillet or a toaster.

Step 11

To assemble the sandwiches, spread a generous tablespoon of the prepared tartar sauce on the bottom half of each bun.

Step 12

Place a fried fish fillet on top of the tartar sauce, followed by a slice of cheddar cheese.

Step 13

Finish by placing the top half of the bun. Serve immediately.
