  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 50 g all-purpose flour

  • Chopped dill (optional)
For Assembly
  • 4 pieces soft brioche or hamburger buns
  • 4 leaves iceberg lettuce
  • 4 slices melting cheese (like cheddar)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Coat the fish filets in flour.
  2. Dip them into the beaten egg, letting any excess drip off.
  3. Press them into the breadcrumbs or panko, ensuring they’re covered nicely.
Cooking
  1. Heat oil in a pan and fry the filets until they’re crispy and golden brown.
Sauce Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix all the sauce ingredients: mayonnaise, yogurt, onion, pickles, lemon juice, and pickle juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Assembly
  1. Slice the buns in half and lightly toast the insides in a pan or on the grill.
  2. On the bottom half of each bun, place a slice of cheese, followed by the crispy fish filet.
  3. Generously spoon the prepared sauce over the fish, top with a leaf of lettuce, and cover with the bun's top half.

Notes

For extra crunch, double-dip your fish in the egg and breadcrumbs. You can also swap the fish for your favorite type, or even use shrimp for a tasty twist. Store leftovers in the fridge for 2-3 days or freeze before frying for up to 3 months.
