Tilapia Sandwich, Crispy and Delicious

Ingredients List

• ½ cup finely chopped tomato

• ¼ cup mayonnaise

• ¼ cup minced red onion

• 2 tablespoons dill pickle relish

• ½ 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®)

• ½ teaspoon garlic powder

• 2 tablespoons butter

• 4 slices pepper Jack cheese

• 4 slices whole wheat bread, toasted

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Combine tomato, mayonnaise, red onion, relish, and piri piri in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.

2. Coat both sides of the tilapia with seafood seasoning and garlic powder.

3. Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned tilapia and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side, until the fish flakes easily. Top with two slices of pepper Jack cheese, cover, and let it melt, 1-2 minutes.

4. Place each tilapia fillet on a slice of toasted bread. Spread with mayonnaise mixture, then top with the second slice of bread.
