Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high. Once hot, add fish fingers and cook 5–6 minutes, shaking pan occasionally, until golden and crispy on all sides.

  2. Step 2

    While fish cooks, butter one side of each bread slice generously.

  3. Step 3

    Spread tartar sauce on the unbuttered side of two bread slices.

  4. Step 4

    Divide cooked fish fingers between the two sauced bread slices. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. Step 5

    Squeeze lemon juice over fish. Top with remaining bread slices, buttered side facing outward.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately while fish is still hot and crispy.
