Ingredients

1 whole tail piece fresh halibut (1 1/4 inches thick, by about 1 foot long)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup mayonnaise, store-bought
1 lemon, juiced
1 handful fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
1 handful fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
1 handful chives, finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 foot long sourdough baguette
1 cup lightly packed hydroponic arugula (leafy variety, with stems)
1 ripe avocado, cut in thick slices
1 beefsteak tomato, cut in thick slices
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Put a large sheet tray in oven and heat it for 1/2 hour.

Begin by patting the halibut fillet dry. If you have a tail end piece cut the fillet down the middle so you can invert the 2 pieces next to each other to form a nice rectangular shape that matches the bread. Set up a breading station with flour, beaten egg and milk, and bread crumbs in separate containers. Season with salt and pepper. Dip each fillet into the flour, egg mixture, and then panko. Set aside on a tray at room temperature to let the coating set.

Pull out sheet tray from oven, add a 2-count of oil and transfer breaded fish to tray. Sprinkle with olive oil. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.

Combine lemon herb mayonnaise ingredients in a bowl and blend until well combined. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Split the baguette in half horizontally. Open it up and toast it in a hot oven until just warmed through. Smear each half with lemon herb mayonnaise and stack up arugula, tomato and avocado on 1 half. Top with crispy panko fish fillets and top with the other half of bread. Skewer in 2 places and cut across the middle. Serve with more lemon-herb mayonnaise on the side.

Major YUM!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This sandwich was delicious! I used cod instead of halibut to save money and it was perfect. I took other reviewers' advice... and turned the broiler on for the last 5-6 minutes. The fish was perfectly cooked and crispy. I also used ciabatta because I was afraid the sourdough would be too tough to bite through. The sandwich is messy since the fish is flaky but it's totally worth it. The homemade tartar sauce is so flavorful that you could probably get away with using reduced fat mayo to save a few calories. I slathered it on both sides it was so good!Read more

The sandwich was excellent!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The sandwich turned out great! I used Cod instead of Halibut because Halibut is really expensive. A lot of people are... having problems with getting the panko to brown, well here is the trick. In your preheated oven, pop the panko on a sheet tray and pre-toast them. Toasat the panko untill your desired color is reached. After using this step there is no real need to preheat the tray in the oven. I would still top with olive oil for great flavor.Read more

The Best Mess Ever
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This sandwich is wonderful, even better then wonderful. Made it for friends and children and everyone loved it. I used Cod... because it was the freshest fish at our store and cheaper then halibut. I did follow someones advice and put it on broil the last few minutes of the cook time. I found sourdough loafs that needed to be cooked 10 minutes at home which was nice so the bread was wider then a skinny baugette and not super crunchy. A little messy to eat but so worth it!Read more
