There’s a lot of debate around what the best item on McDonald’s menu is. I’m here to tell you that it’s the Filet-O-Fish. I did not stutter. I made this from scratch in my own kitchen and I might have to say that it’s pretty damn close to the real thing. Try it out and let me know what you think.
Filet-O-Fish
Mcdonald's at home. Trust me with this recipe. The crispiness of the fish paired with the homemade tartare sauce, and of course, a slice of Singles cheese (this is a must!).
Ingredients
- 8 oz cod or haddock
- 1 slice Singles cheese
- 1 brioche bun
Wet batter:
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 bottle beer
Tartare Sauce:
- ½ cup mayo
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- ¼ pickle (diced)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp dry dill
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Cut up your fish approximately the same size as your burger buns.
- Make wet batter by combining all the dry ingredients together then whisking in a beer.
- Coat fish in plain flour, dip in wet batter, then place in 350°F oil for 5-8 minutes or until golden brown. A trick to keep wet batter on fish is to use a fork to take the fish out the of wet batter and then place it in oil.
- Make your tartare sauce by combining the ingredients, you can also make this in advance.
- Toast brioche buns with PROCESSED CHEESE.
- Assemble and enjoy!
Notes
Fish: I used cod in this recipe, but you can also use haddock or any white fish. Cod and haddock are the most popular ones for this type of battered fish sandwich.
