Equipment
- Large skillet
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
Fish
- 1 lb wild snapper or any white fish, cut into 4 fillets
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Assembly
- 4 burger buns
- 1 medium tomato sliced
- lemon wedges (optional)
Creamy Slaw
- 1 cup coleslaw salad mix
- 0.5 tbsp mayonnaise
- 0.5 tbsp sweet relish
- 0.5 tbsp ketchup
- 0.25 tsp mustard
Seasonings
- 0.5 tsp roasted garlic pepper
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- Pat the fish fillets dry, then season evenly with roasted garlic pepper, salt, and black pepper. Lightly dust each fillet with flour, shaking off any excess.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Gently place the fillets in the pan and cook for 5–7 minutes per side, flipping once when the bottom turns golden brown.
- While the fish cooks, make the slaw: In a small bowl, combine coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, relish, ketchup, and mustard. Stir until well mixed.
- Lightly toast the burger buns. Place a fish fillet on the bottom half of each bun. Squeeze a little lemon juice over the fish if desired, then add tomato slices and a generous spoonful of the creamy slaw. Close the buns and serve immediately.
