Delicious and crispy fish finger sandwiches made with air-fried fish sticks, fresh lettuce, dill pickles, and creamy homemade tartar sauce, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Sandwiches

  • 6 fish sticks
  • 4 slices white sandwich bread
  • 2 tablespoons softened butter
  • ½ cup chopped lettuce
  • 6 slices dill pickles (more to taste)

For the Tartar Sauce

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup minced dill pickles
  • 1 teaspoon fresh minced dill
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fish Sticks: Spritz an air fryer basket with oil spray. Arrange the fish sticks in a single layer leaving space between each for air to flow. Spritz the tops of the fish sticks with oil spray to ensure even crisping.
  2. Air Fry the Fish Sticks: Set the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and cook the fish sticks for 12 minutes or until they are hot and crispy on the outside, ensuring a perfect texture.
  3. Butter the Bread: While the fish sticks are cooking, take the slices of white sandwich bread and butter one side of each slice evenly to add flavor and help with browning if briefly toasted.
  4. Assemble the Sandwiches: On two slices of bread (butter side down), layer chopped lettuce, three crispy fish sticks each, and dill pickles. Drizzle a generous amount of homemade tartar sauce over the fish sticks, then top with the remaining slices of bread buttered side up to complete the sandwich.
  5. Serve Immediately: Serve the sandwiches immediately to enjoy the crispy texture of the fish sticks combined with fresh lettuce and creamy tartar sauce for the best experience.
  6. Make the Tartar Sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced dill pickles, fresh minced dill, lemon juice, and onion powder. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed to create a flavorful tartar sauce.
  7. Store Leftover Sauce: Store any leftover tartar sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to maintain freshness and flavor.

Notes

  • If preferred, use homemade or store-bought fish sticks; ensure they are suitable for air frying.
  • Spritzing with oil helps achieve extra crispiness but can be omitted for a lighter version.
  • Feel free to add more dill pickles or lettuce according to taste.
  • For a healthier alternative, whole grain or gluten-free bread can be substituted.
  • Leftover tartar sauce can also be used as a dip for other seafood dishes.
