Fish Fry with Tartar Sauce

This Fish Fry with Tartar Sauce is a delightful and crisp dish that features tender fish fillets coated in a seasoned breading and fried to golden perfection. Served with a zesty homemade tartar sauce, it’s a satisfying and healthier take on a classic American seafood favorite.

Ingredients

• White fish fillets (e.g., cod or tilapia) - 300 grams
• All-purpose flour - 50 grams
• Cornmeal - 50 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Milk - 2 tablespoons
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons (for frying)
• Mayonnaise - 100 grams
• Pickles (finely chopped) - 30 grams
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Capers (finely chopped) - 1 teaspoon
• Dill (fresh or dried) - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined.
2. In another bowl, mix the flour, cornmeal, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. Dip each fish fillet into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour-cornmeal mixture until evenly coated.
4. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the coated fish fillets, cooking for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.
5. While the fish is frying, prepare the tartar sauce by mixing the mayonnaise, chopped pickles, lemon juice, capers, and dill in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.
6. Once the fish is cooked, remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
7. Serve the fish hot with a generous dollop of tartar sauce on the side.
