Best Fish Sandwich Recipe

Make tartar sauce.
Chop the capers finely and cut the pickles into very tiny cubes. Chop the green onion finely (or red onion, if using). Combine mayonnaise, yoghurt, capers, pickles, Dijon mustard and a little black pepper and mix through. Set aside or place in the refrigerator if making ahead of time. It will keep for up to 3-4 days.
Make the fish patties.
Cut the filets into large squares. Using a food processor or a high-speed blender, ground up the fish pieces into a mince-like texture.
Combine the fish with one small to medium egg, 3 to 4 tablespoons of Panko breadcrumbs (this will soak up some moisture so it is easier to shape the patties), plus a teaspoon of onion powder, ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of pepper.
Prepare a cutting board or a plate dusted lightly with flour. Divide the mixture into 4 or 6 portions (we made 4 larger patties but you can choose to make 6 smaller ones). Shape each portion into a round ball and flatten it into a patty, place it on a board and sprinkle with extra flour over the top. Note: the patty mixture is soft so you have to take extra care shaping the patties.
Whisk an egg or two in one shallow bowl and add the Panko crumbs to another shallow bowl. Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat (7 out of 10 on an induction stove).
Slide a spatula under one of the patties and transfer it carefully to a bowl with whisked egg wash. Gently turn it over to cover both sides and transfer it to the bowl with crumbs. Coat each side with crumbs, pressing gently with your fingers and place the patty in the hot frying pan. Continue with the remaining patties until they are all crumbed and in the frying pan.
Cook for 5 minutes on the first side and 4 minutes on the opposite side. Keep in mind that the first patty will need to be turned sooner as it was in the pan first. Add a little extra oil when turning the patties over so they don't dry out.
Prepare red cabbage.
Thinly slice the red cabbage and add to a bowl. Drizzle with a tablespoon or so of white wine vinegar or lemon juice and a little olive oil and season with a touch of salt. Toss through and set aside.
Prepare the lettuce leaves and sliced cheese.
Toast the brioche bun halves using a toaster or under a broil. You can also heat a dollop of butter in another frying pan and place the buns cut-side down for a minute or so until they are golden brown.
Assemble the fish sandwich.
Spread 1-2 tablespoons of the tartar sauce on the bottom half. Place the fish patty on top followed by cheese. Add a handful of red cabbage slaw and top with a lettuce leaf or two. Spread the same amount of tartar sauce on the top half and close the sandwich. Serve whole or slice in half if you wish. Eat over a plate as you will get a few drippings along the way!
