Our lighter baked-fish sandwich has all the appeal of the classic fast-food version: crispy fish, soft bun, American cheese, and an easy, killer tartar sauce to bring it all together. We start by toasting panko breadcrumbs in the oven to give them a golden hue; without a dunk in the deep fryer, they would remain very pale after baking.
Ingredients
Cooking spray
4 spray(s)
Panko breadcrumbs
¾ cup(s)
Light mayonnaise
5 tbsp(s), divided
Egg
1 large, lightly beaten
Uncooked whitefish fillet
12 oz, or flounder, cut into 4 equal pieces
Kosher salt
¼ tsp(s)
Black pepper
¼ tsp(s)
Unsweetened dill pickle
1½ tbsp(s), minced
Scallions
1 tbsp(s), minced
Light hamburger bun
4 bun(s)
Low fat American cheese single
2 slice(s), halved
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a small sheet pan with parchment paper.
2
Spread the panko onto the sheet pan. Bake until golden brown, about 5 minutes, stirring once or twice. Pour the panko onto a shallow plate. In a shallow bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of the mayonnaise and egg. Sprinkle the fish evenly with the salt and black pepper. Dip the fish into the egg mixture, turning to coat. Dredge the fish in the panko, turning to coat.
3
Arrange the fish on the sheet pan (still covered with parchment paper). Coat the fish with cooking spray. Bake until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes.
4
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the remaining 4 tablespoons mayonnaise, pickles, and scallions. Spread the sauce evenly over the tops of the buns. Arrange ½ cheese slice on the bottom of each bun and top with 1 piece of fish. Arrange the bun tops on top.
