Steps
- 1Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
- 2Dip each cod fillet in beaten egg, then press firmly into panko to coat both sides evenly.
- 3Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- 4While the fish bakes, stir together the Greek yogurt, chopped pickles, lemon juice, and dill in a small bowl to make the tartar sauce.
- 5Toast the buns lightly, then build each sandwich with a fish fillet and a generous spoonful of tartar sauce.
Tips
- Any firm white fish like haddock or pollock works as a substitute for cod.
- A squeeze of extra lemon right before serving brightens the whole sandwich.
