Preparation
- Make the slaw: Add the vinegar, mayonnaise, salt, sugar, garlic powder, and black pepper to a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Add the cabbage and carrot and toss to coat in the dressing. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Make the aioli: Add the mayonnaise, lemon zest, lemon juice, and garlic to a small bowl and whisk to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Make the crispy fish: Add the canola oil to a Dutch oven or high-walled pan and heat over medium heat until the temperature reaches 325°F (160°C).
- Pat the mahi mahi fillets dry, then season on all sides with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Add the eggs to a shallow dish and beat to combine. In a separate shallow dish, combine the panko bread crumbs, remaining teaspoon of salt, remaining 1⁄2 teaspoon of black pepper, the onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Coat each mahi mahi fillet in the eggs, then in the panko mixture. Place on a tray or baking sheet.
- Working in batches of two fillets at a time, fry the fish in the hot oil for 5-8 minutes, until the breading is golden brown and the fish is opaque and flaky. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Spread some of the aioli onto the toasted brioche buns, then place a few slices of avocado onto the bottom buns. Add a piece of fried fish to each bottom bun and top with slaw and the top buns.
- Serve the fish sandwiches with Bush’s® Original Baked Beans alongside.
- Enjoy!
