- 1 frozen, breaded whitefish patty
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- salt, to taste
- 1/2 cup miracle whip
- 1/4 cup dill relish (not sweet)
- 2 teaspoon minced onion
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- 1 small hamburger bun
- 1/2 slice american cheese
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat an cook the fish until cooked through and golden brown, about 2 minutes a side. Remove the fish from the pan, pat it with a paper towel to remove some of the oil, and season with salt.
- Cut the onion in half and soak in cold water for 10 minutes. Remove from the water and mince.
- Whisk together miracle whip and the dill relish with a little bit of its juice. Mix thoroughly and then slowly add the sugar, cream of tartar, and the onions. Store in an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Wrap the bun in a paper towel, and place in the microwave for 10 seconds, this allows the bun to 'sweat' which gives it a buttery taste.
- Place the cooked fish filet on top of the bottom bun and add the American cheese, add the tartar sauce and top with the other half of bun.
