Let’s Make it together
Prepare Your Workspace: Gather all your ingredients and tools—frying pan, spatula, and a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Coat the Fish Fillets: Pat dry your fish fillets with paper towels then season both sides generously with salt and pepper. This enhances their natural flavors.
Heat the Oil: Pour about an inch of oil into your frying pan and heat it over medium-high until shimmering but not smoking—about 350°F (175°C) is ideal.
Fry the Fish Fillets: Carefully place each fillet into the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Don’t overcrowd the pan!
Assemble Your Sliders: Place each crispy fish fillet on a slider bun, add a dollop of tartar sauce, top with pickles, then close it up like you’re sealing in happiness.
Squeeze Lemon Juice & Serve!: Finish off by squeezing fresh lemon juice over each slider before serving. Enjoy immediately while they’re hot and crispy!
