Looking for a healthier alternative to McDonald's fish sandwiches? This fried fish sandwich is an excellent choice. Not only is it tasty, but it's better for you too. We dipped fish fillets in a mixture of bread crumbs and seasonings and then placed them in an air-fryer. This makes this fried fish recipe less greasy. We also made a homemade tartar sauce using mayonnaise, chopped dill pickles, Dijon mustard, and lime juice. So you get an excellent combination of heat, sour, and tanginess. We also added lettuce leaves and tomatoes to the sandwich for freshness. Serve with regular fries, Garden Salad, or our Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries.
