McDonald's Filet-O-Fish keeps things simple with a standard bun, fried Alaskan pollock filet, cheese, and tartar sauce. To elevate it, try swapping the bun for an English muffin.

An English muffin is flatter and denser than a typical McDonald's bun, and the dried rye sourdough will give the dish a slightly tangier flavor than the bun does.
