Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Pan-Fried Tilapia Sandwich.
Step 1
Start by creating a delicious sauce that will elevate your tilapia sandwich.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the chopped tomato, creamy mayonnaise, minced red onion, dill pickle relish, and a touch of piri piri chile pepper for a hint of spice.
Step 3
Stir everything together until well combined, then season with salt and black pepper to your liking.
Step 4
Next, it’s time to prepare the tilapia fillets.
Step 5
Generously season both sides with seafood seasoning and garlic powder, ensuring each bite is packed with flavor.
Step 6
Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt some butter until it’s bubbling.
Step 7
Carefully add the seasoned tilapia fillets to the skillet and cook them for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
Step 8
You’ll know they’re ready when they turn a beautiful golden brown and flake easily with a fork.
Step 9
Now, let’s add some cheesy goodness! Place two slices of pepper Jack cheese on top of each fillet, then cover the skillet to let the cheese melt for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 10
The aroma will be irresistible! To bring your sandwich together, take a slice of toasted whole wheat bread and place a tilapia fillet on top.
Step 11
Generously spread the zesty mayonnaise sauce over the fish, then finish with another slice of bread.
Step 12
Your mouthwatering tilapia sandwich is now ready to enjoy—perfect for a quick lunch or a delightful dinner!.
