Crispy Pacific Cod Sandwich With Creamy Tartar Slaw

February 19th, 2025

Air Fryer Fish in a Satisfying Sandwich

This Pacific cod sandwich is a crispy, flavor-packed option for an easy weekday lunch. Hearty pieces of Pacific cod are coated in a seasoned panko crust then air-fried to golden perfection, for fish that delivers a satisfying crunch with each bite. Serve the crispy fish on buttery, toasted French bread with a creamy tartar slaw and tangy pickle slices for a delicious combination of textures and flavors. 

While Pacific cod is a great fish option for this sandwich, you can easily substitute Pacific halibut, lingcod, or yelloweye rockfish for this recipe.

Yield

4 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 (6 oz.) portions Pacific cod, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk of choice
  • 1 ½ cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 lemon, halved
  • 1 soft french bread baguette, cut into fourths
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup slaw mix
  • ¼ cup tartar sauce
  • Dill pickle slices
  • French Fries, for serving

Instructions

1. Set up your dredging station: In a shallow bowl combine the flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried oregano. In a second shallow bowl whisk the eggs and milk together well. In a third shallow bowl add the panko breadcrumbs.

2. Pat the fish dry with a paper towel or clean kitchen towel. Dredge the fish in the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, then the panko breadcrumbs. Press down lightly until the breadcrumbs stick to the fish and then spray both sides with cooking oil.

3. Air fry the fish at 400F for 10 to 12 minutes, stopping halfway through to turn the fish. Cook until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork. Squeeze one half of the lemon onto the fish and set aside.

4. Butter the insides of the bread and toast in a large skillet.

5. In a medium bowl, mix the slaw and tartar sauce together until well combined. Add the slaw to the bottom half of the toasted bread, followed by a few slices of pickles, top with fish and the top slice of bread. Serve with hot french fries and enjoy.


Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish, or eggs may increase your risk of food-borne illness, especially if you have a certain medical condition. The FDA recommends an internal temperature of 145°F for cooked fish.
