  • Finally, sprinkle panko into a third shallow baking dish. Lightly cover each fillet in the flour mixture and shake off excess. Next, lightly cover fillets in the egg mixture, shaking off excess, and finally, dip the fillets into the panko crumbs until they are fully coated.
  • Transfer the coated fillets to a baking sheet lined with a cooling rack and refrigerate them for 30 minutes.

  • Immediately top fillets with sliced cheese. Transfer fillets into the oven and bake for 2 to 3 minutes or until the cheese just starts to melt. Remove from oven.
  • Spread tartare sauce onto the top and bottom of each bun. Place a cheese-covered fillet onto each of the bottom buns and gently press the top buns over each fillet. Serve.
