HOW TO MAKE MCDONALD'S FILET-O-FISH BURGER - Video Recipe| Filet 'O' Fish

fish fillet

🥗Healthier: grilled fish

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Canned tuna is more affordable and still provides a similar flavor profile.

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Processed cheese is often less expensive and melts well.

bun

🥗Healthier: whole grain bun

💰Cheaper: white sandwich bread

White bread is a cost-effective alternative, though it lacks fiber.

tartar sauce

🥗Healthier: yogurt-based sauce

💰Cheaper: mayo

Mayo is a cheaper option that can mimic the creaminess of tartar sauce.

Cut the fish according to the size of the bun you will use.

Soak the fish in salted water and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour.

In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, cornmeal, turmeric powder, cayenne pepper, freshly crushed black pepper, salt, and paprika extract.

Add ice cold water to the dry ingredients to make a loose batter.

Mix in some oil and baking powder to the batter.

Pat dry the fish to remove excess moisture and coat it lightly with dry all-purpose flour.

Dip the coated fish into the batter, then coat it with panko bread crumbs by shaking the bowl to ensure even coverage.

Store the fish patties in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 5 days.

Heat oil to 160°C (320°F) for frying, or bake at 200°C (390°F) for 10 to 12 minutes.

Fry the patties for about 7 to 8 minutes until golden brown.

Assemble the sandwich with the base of the burger bun, a slice of cheddar cheese, the fish patty, and tartar sauce.

Cover the assembled sandwich with the top bun and wrap it in wax paper or butter paper.

Heat the wrapped sandwich in an oven at 200°C for about 1.5 minutes.
