Fried Fish Sandwich with Lemon Parsley Mayonnaise

In a medium-sized skillet on medium heat, add 2-3 tablespoons vegetable oil. There should be enough oil to fully coat the bottom of the skillet.

Pat cod dry with paper towel and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper (not too much, there will be more in the panko).

In a bowl combine the panko, half the lemon zest, salt and pepper.

In another bowl, add the egg and water and beat well.

Take one piece of cod and dip in the egg mixture and then in the panko mixture. Add to the skillet. Repeat with remaining cod.

Cook for 4 minutes on one side, flip and cook for 2 minutes on the other side. Check for doneness as thickness of fish may affect cooking time. When done, remove fish to paper towel to absorb any extra oil.

While fish is cooking, add mayonnaise to a small bowl. Add to that the lemon juice, remaining lemon zest and parsley. Stir well.

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Butter the hamburger buns. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until browned.

Assemble sandwich. Place one piece of fish on a hamburger bun and top with a spoonful of lemon parsley mayonnaise. Top with lettuce and sliced tomato if desired.
