Ingredients
- 4 small fish fillets
- 4 slider buns
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup tartar sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the fish fillets by patting them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Season both sides of the fish fillets with salt and pepper, ensuring even coverage.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat with a light coating of cooking oil.
- Cook the fish fillets for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
- While the fish is cooking, lightly toast the slider buns in a separate pan or toaster until they are golden and crisp around the edges.
- Mix the tartar sauce with fresh lemon juice to enhance the flavor, stirring until well combined.
- Once the fish is cooked, remove from heat and let rest for 1-2 minutes.
- Spread a thin layer of the lemon-enhanced tartar sauce on the bottom half of each slider bun.
- Place a portion of shredded lettuce on top of the tartar sauce.
- Carefully place a cooked fish fillet on top of the lettuce.
- Cover with the top half of the slider bun and serve immediately while warm.
Tips
- Pat the fish fillets completely dry before seasoning to ensure a crispy, golden exterior.
- Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned cast-iron pan for the best cooking results.
- Don't overcrowd the pan - cook fish fillets in batches if necessary to maintain proper heat.
- Use a meat thermometer to check that fish reaches the safe internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- For extra flavor, try adding a squeeze of fresh lemon directly on the fish while cooking.
- Toast the buns just before assembling to keep them warm and slightly crispy.
- Experiment with homemade tartar sauce or add a dash of hot sauce for an extra kick.
- Choose fresh, high-quality fish fillets for the best taste and texture.
- Let the fish rest for a minute after cooking to help retain its moisture.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect combination of warm fish and crisp buns.
