McDonald's Filet-O-Fish! recipe

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 basa fish into square-shaped patties.

Blend the fish to achieve a smooth texture.

In a bowl, whisk together 1 egg, salt, pepper, and flour.

Coat the fish patties in the egg mixture, then in panko breadcrumbs.

Fry the coated fish patties until golden brown on both sides.

Prepare the tartar sauce by mixing mayonnaise, relish, and squeezed lemon juice.

Toast the hamburger buns until golden and crisp.

Assemble the sandwich by placing cheese diagonally on the bottom bun, followed by the fried fish patty, and slathering tartar sauce on top before adding the top bun.
