Equipment
- 1 large saucepan
Ingredients
For the fish
- 1½ lbs wild caught cod filets or other white fish
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ cup flour
- 1 egg
Cole Slaw
- 1 bag coleslaw mix, about 4 cups of cabbage and other veggies
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- ½ lemon, juiced
- 2 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
Chipotle mayo
- 1 chipotle in adobo pepper
- ⅔ cup mayonnaise
- 1 clove garlic
- ½ lime, juiced
Instructions
- Combine all of the coleslaw ingredients in a medium bowl. Cover and set in the fridge. In a small food processor, combine the chipotle mayo ingredients and process until smooth. Cover and set in the fridge.
- Set up 2 separate plates for dipping with the flour and breadcrumb. In a small bowl combine all of the seasonings. Add half of the seasonings to the breadcrumbs and half to the flour and combine.
- Prepare the fish by cutting the filets into small squares that can fit on the slider bun. If the fish is frozen, thaw and press with a paper towel to remove as much frozen water as possible. Dip the fish in the flour, and then egg and bread.
- In a large saucepan, add 1 cup of vegetable oil and bring to medium-high heat. Fry the fish on each side for about 4-5 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145℉.
- Slather the slider buns with chipotle mayo, and add the coleslaw to the bottom of the sandwich. Top with your fish sliders and add pickles if you like. Serve!
Notes
- When deep frying the fish, don't add too many pieces to the oil at once because the temperature of the oil will drop and cause the fish to get soggy instead of crispy.
- Use a paper towel to squeeze out as much of the water as you can before you bread the fish for best results with frying.
