MCDONALD'S FILET-O-FISH

MAKES 4 | 25 MIN

• 2 large eggs

• ¼ cup (30 g.) all-purpose flour

• 1 tsp. Dijon mustard

• 1 tsp. garlic powder

• ½ tsp. kosher salt, plus more

• ¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper, plus more

• 2 cups panko breadcrumbs

• 2 (8-oz.) boneless, skinless white fish fillets, such as cod or tilapia, halved crosswise

• Vegetable oil, for frying (2 to 3 cups

• 4 potato buns, lightly toasted

• 4 slices American cheese

• Tartar sauce and French fries, for serving

1. In a shallow bowl, whisk eggs, flour, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Into another shallow bowl, pour panko. Season fish all over with salt and pepper.

2. Into a large, heavy skillet, pour oil to a depth of ¼". Heat over medium heat until a deep-fry or instant-read thermometer registers 350°. Coat each piece of fish in egg mixture, then dip into panko, gently pressing to adhere.

3. Fry fish, turning halfway through and maintaining oil temperature, until golden brown and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; season with salt.

4. Top each bottom bun with 1 slice of American cheese, then 1 piece of fried fish. Spread tartar sauce on top of fish. Close sandwiches with top buns and serve with French fries and more tartar sauce alongside.
