Recipe Description

My Baked Fish Subs are the ultimate fish burger! No frozen breaded fish in this recipe! I bake fresh fillets of cod in butter, garlic and lemon juice until they are so soft and juicy they would melt-in-the-mouth. Add the best of condiments – Ranch dressing and steak sauce – to freshly toasted buns, slide in the buttery fish fillets, top with crispy onion rings and fresh lettuce, and you have an incredible fish fillet sandwich!

This recipe makes 4 subs but you can easily multiply the quantities up to feed a crowd. These subs are the perfect option for pescatarians at a BBQ or picnic, although I wouldn’t be surprised if everyone wants to try one!

To make Baked Fish Subs, you will need the following ingredients:
