Let’s Make it Together
Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and tools needed for cooking: mixing bowls, frying pan, spatula, and paper towels for draining excess oil.
Heat the Oil: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, pour enough oil to cover the bottom by about half an inch. Heat until shimmering but not smoking.
Bread the Fish Fillets: Dip each fish fillet into seasoned flour first; then coat with beaten egg before rolling them in breadcrumbs for that crunchy outer layer.
Fry Until Golden Brown: Carefully place breaded fillets in hot oil. Fry each side until golden brown—about 3-4 minutes per side—until cooked through and flaky.
Assemble the Sliders: Place crispy fish on slider buns; add a dollop of tartar sauce, lettuce leaves, and cheese slices before topping with another bun.
Serve Immediately: Serve warm while they’re still crispy; pair with fries or a salad for an epic meal everyone will love! Avocado Chicken Salad.
