Seared Tilapia Sandwich
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped tomato
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup minced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons dill pickle relish
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground piri piri chile pepper
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 (4 ounce) fillets tilapia fillets
  • 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 slices pepperjack cheese
  • 4 slices whole wheat bread, toasted
Instructions
1
Combine the diced tomato, mayonnaise, thinly sliced red onion, relish, and spicy piri piri sauce in a small bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste, allowing the flavors to meld together seamlessly.
2
Next, sprinkle both sides of the tilapia fillets with a blend of seafood spices and garlic powder, ensuring an even distribution of flavors.
3
Heat butter in a medium-sized skillet over a moderate heat setting. Add the seasoned tilapia fillets and cook until they turn golden brown, with the fish breaking apart easily when pierced with a fork, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Cover the skillet and cook until the cheese on top is melted, 1 to 2 minutes.
4
Transfer each tilapia fillet to a toasted slice of bread. Spread a layer of mayonnaise sauce on top and finish with the remaining slice of toasted bread, creating a satisfying sandwich.
