Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment for easy cleanup.
2. Make the tartar sauce: In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise (for sauce), pickle relish, parsley, capers, lemon juice, sugar, and salt. Stir and let stand at least 10 minutes.
3. Toast the breadcrumbs: Spread the breadcrumbs on a baking sheet, mist lightly with cooking spray, and bake 3–5 minutes, stirring once, until lightly golden. Transfer to a shallow bowl to cool.
4. Lightly coat the lined baking sheet with cooking spray.
5. Portion the cod into 4 pieces, each slightly larger than the buns.
6. Make the batter: In a bowl, whisk the egg, mayonnaise (for batter), Dijon mustard, flour, and black pepper until smooth.
7. Coat the fish: Dip each piece of cod in the batter, letting excess drip off, then press into the toasted breadcrumbs to adhere on all sides. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
8. Bake until the fish is opaque and flakes easily, 12–15 minutes. Immediately top each piece with a slice of cheese to melt slightly.
9. Split the buns and warm briefly in a toaster or microwave, if desired.
10. Assemble the sandwiches: Place a piece of fish on each bun, spoon on tartar sauce, and close to serve.
