Ingredients
  

  • 4 cod filets patted dry & room temperature
  • 1 tsp of each: paprika smoked paprika, onion powder, & garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne
  • 2 tbsp Tonys Creole seasoning
  • 1 cup + 2 tbsp cornstarch divided
  • 1/2 qt vegetable oil
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 cup of COLD beer
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 4 brioche buns
  • 4 slices American cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter softened
  • Optional: Tatar sauce

Instructions
 

  • Season the patted dry cod with a pinch of salt & pepper on both sides.
  • In a bowl combine 1 cup cornstarch, Tony's Creole, paprika, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne. Dredge both sides of each filet in the cornstarch seasoning mixture and shake off the excess. Then place each piece on a baking sheet with a rack.
  • To make the beer batter, in a separate bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, 2 tbsp cornstarch, and COLD beer. (Make sure it is the consistency of pancake batter).
  • In a pan add vegetable oil and bring to a high heat (350°F-375°F). Adjust temp as necessary.
  • Dredge each cod filet in the beer batter, let the excess drip off, and immediately place the filets in the oil. Fry them for 3 minutes on each side. Once they’re done set them aside on a baking sheet with a rack.
  • Place the brioche buns on a baking sheet with a rack, spread softened butter on both buns, and add the American cheese slices to the bottom buns. Broil in the oven until the buns are slightly toasty and the cheese is melty.
  • Place the crispy filets on the bottom buns, add tartar sauce on top of the filets, and top them with the top buns. Enjoy!
