Ingredients

• 1 pound white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
• 1 cup panko bread crumbs
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 sandwich buns
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• Lettuce leaves, for serving
• Pickles, for serving
• Tartar sauce or your favorite condiment, for serving

How to Make Crispy Baked Fish Sandwiches

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Set up a breading station: In one shallow dish, place the flour; in a second dish, whisk the eggs; and in a third dish, combine the panko bread crumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
3. Dip each fish fillet first in the flour, shaking off any excess, then in the egg, and finally coat with the panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
4. Place the breaded fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with melted butter for added crispiness.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork. Turn the fillets halfway through the cooking time for even crispiness.
6. While the fish bakes, prepare the sandwich buns by toasting them lightly, if desired.
7. Assemble the sandwiches: Place a crispy fish fillet on each bun, top with lettuce, pickles, and a generous dollop of tartar sauce.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy your satisfying meal!

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure to use panko bread crumbs for an extra crunch.
• Experiment with different seasonings in the breading mix for variety.
• Ensure the fish fillets are evenly coated for consistent crispiness.
• For a spicier kick, add cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the breading.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the fish for chicken breasts for a crispy chicken sandwich.
• Try a different sauce like sriracha mayo or chipotle aioli for a flavor boost.
• Add sliced tomatoes or avocado for extra freshness.
• Use whole grain or gluten-free buns to suit dietary preferences.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy sweet potato fries for a fun side.
• A fresh coleslaw to add crunch and tang.
• Roasted vegetables for a healthy complement.
• A light salad with a zesty vinaigrette.
