Instructions
For the “Fish” Patties
- Add all the ingredients for the patties into a food processor.
- Pulse, scraping down as needed, until the mixture is combined. *You don’t want any big pieces of artichokes or hearts of palm, but you still want some flakey parts and don’t want it to be super mushy.
- Separate the mixture into 4-5 equal size balls depending on the thickness of the sandwich desired. Press all the ingredients together and shape into either square or circular patties.
- Place on a plate or baking sheet and place in the fridge to firm up a bit while you make the batter.
For the batter (If Making in Air Fryer – see notes below)
- In a bowl, combine all the dry batter ingredients.
- Pour in the oat milk. Whisk together to combine.
- Let sit for 5 minutes (It will get thicker).
- Heat oil to 350 degrees while you wait.
- Once oil is ready, remove the patties from the fridge.
- Very carefully, take a patty and dip into the batter on both sides, allowing any excess batter to drip off.
- Place the patty on a metal spatula and low it into the oil for 5 seconds before releasing into the basket.*If you place your battered patty directly onto the basket it will stick to the basket. Allowing the oil to start to fry the patty for just a few seconds before placing in the basket prevents this.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes and then remove from the oil and place on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
- Repeat with remaining patties.
- Once all patties are done, place on a bun with desired toppings and vegan tartar sauce.
For the Tartar Sauce
- Combine all the ingredients into a small bowl. *Can make while waiting for oil to heat up. Place in fridge until sandwiches are ready.
