Serves: 4 people
Ingredients
- 4 fresh Cod or Haddock fillets (about 5-6 oz each)
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 1/2 cup hot honey (honey infused with chili flakes)
- 4 brioche buns, lightly toasted
- 1 cup prepared cabbage slaw
- Sliced dill pickles
- Peanut or canola oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven or deep skillet, heat 2 inches of oil to 375°F.
- Pour buttermilk into a shallow bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, and Cajun seasoning.
- Dip each fish fillet into the buttermilk, then dredge thoroughly in the flour mixture, pressing to adhere.
- Carefully fry the fillets in batches for 4-5 minutes per side until deeply golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a wire rack to drain.
- While the fish is still hot, drizzle generously with hot honey on both sides.
- Assemble the sandwiches by placing a fried fish fillet on the bottom half of each toasted brioche bun. Top with pickles, cabbage slaw, and the top bun. Serve immediately.
