Fishwife Smoked Rainbow Trout
- • For the tartar sauce: 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- • 3 tablespoons finely chopped dill pickles, plus 2 tablespoons pickle brine
- • 2 tablespoons finely chopped capers
- • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
- • 1 teaspoon white wine or red wine vinegar
- • Kosher salt, to taste
- • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- • For the fish: 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
- • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- • 1 large egg, whisked
- • 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
- • 2 cans Fishwife Smoked Rainbow Trout
- • To assemble: 1 cup shredded Iceberg lettuce
- • 1/4 medium red or white onion, thinly sliced
- • 2 soft hamburger buns
- • 2 slices cheddar or American cheese
- Make the tartar sauce. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- In three separate bowls, add flour, egg, and panko. Pat the cod pieces dry with a paper towel. Dredge pieces of cod in flour, then eggs, then panko.
- Make the lettuce slaw. In a small bowl, mix iceberg lettuce, onion, and juices from 1 trout tin. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium high heat. Once oil is at 375F (barely smoking), cook fillets until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and season with salt.
- Assemble the sandwiches. Preheat broiler to high heat and place a rack in the upper third of your oven. Open two buns and place them on a sheet pan cut sides up. Toast them under the broiler until golden brown, 30 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on the strength of your broiler (keep a close eye!).
- On the bottom toasted half of brioche, spread a generous amount of tartar sauce and top with fried trout (you might use several nuggets per sandwich).
- Top each sandwich with a slice of cheese and return under the broiler to melt the cheese, 30 seconds to 1 minute (remove the top buns from the sheet pan so they don’t burn!).
- Top the cheesy cod fillets with slaw, spread more tartar sauce on the top bun and place on top of the sandwich. Serve immediately with more tartar sauce.
