Blackened Tilapia Sandwich Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place a heavy-duty baking pan sprayed with nonstick spray in the oven to heat.
• Mix together the melted butter, Dijon and dill in a pie plate. In another pie plate, combine the panko, cayenne and some salt and pepper. Dredge the fish through the melted butter mixture and then through the panko. Place on the hot sheet trays in the oven and bake until cooked through and lightly golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Assemble the sandwich by slathering the toasted split roll with Tartar Sauce, topping with the breaded fish fillet and adding the tomato slices and shredded lettuce.
• Mix the mayonnaise, relish, dill, mustard and hot sauce together in a small bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour before serving.

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine all of the spices. Press a heaping tablespoon of the spice mix onto each fillet so that both sides are liberally coated. Allow the fish to sit for 15 minutes at room temperature prior to cooking.
• In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is almost smoking, add the fillets and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Sprinkle with lemon juice and transfer the fillets to serving platter.

Steps:

• Season fish with 2 Tbsp. seasoning. Mix remaining seasoning and mayo.
• Heat large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Add fish; cook 5 min. on each side or until fish flakes easily with fork. Meanwhile, spread mayo mixture onto cut sides of bread.
• Fill bread with fish, tomatoes and lettuce.

Steps:

• In a small bowl or jar with a lid, make the spice blend. Mix together the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, white pepper, black pepper, cayenne pepper, oregano, thyme, celery seed and kosher salt. Coat the fish fillets with the spice mixture, and allow to sit at room temperature for no longer than 30 minutes.
• Heat a heavy skillet over high heat. Add oil, and heat until it is almost smoking. Place the fillets in the pan, and cook for about 3 minutes per side, or until fish is opaque and can be flaked with a fork. Remove from the pan, and place onto slices of white bread. Pour pan juices over them and squeeze lemon juice all over. Do not underestimate the white bread. It gets quite tasty soaking up all the juices.
