Tilapia Po Boys With Homemade Tartar Sauce Recipes

GRILLED TILAPIA PO'BOYS WITH HOMEMADE TARTAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare a medium grill or preheat the broiler. If using the broiler, line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• To make the tartar sauce: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, pickles, onion, lemon juice, and garlic powder. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Brush the tilapia fillets with the olive oil and season with the salt and pepper. Cut the bread into four 7-inch sections and cut each section in half lengthwise.
• Place the tilapia on the grill or, if broiling, place on the prepared baking sheet. Grill or broil, 4 inches from the heat, turning once, for about 6 minutes total, or until the tilapia flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through. Lay the bread on the grill or broiler cut side down and grill or broil for about 1 minute, or until toasted.
• For each po'boy, place 1 tilapia fillet on the bottom slice of bread, followed by 2 slices of tomato and 1 lettuce leaf. Spread the top slice of bread with 2 tablespoons of the tartar sauce and place it on top of the sandwich.
• The best way to keep fish or other items from sticking to your grill grate is to keep it clean. Brush the grate with a stiff wire brush before you light the fire.

BLACKENED CATFISH PO' BOY (CAN SUB TILAPIA OR SALMON)

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the paprika, oregano, thyme, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder and sugar. (You can omit this step and use your favorite packaged blackening spice mix.).
• Pat catfish fillets dry with paper towels. Brush lightly with oil, then season well with salt and pepper. Sprinkle liberally with blackening spice mix, gently pressing spices onto fish to adhere.
• Coat bottom of a large, non-stick frying pan with vegetable oil. Heat over medium-high heat until oil is shimmering. Add catfish and fry until cooked through, 3-4 minutes per side. Do not overcrowd pan. Work in batches and keep warm in a low oven.
• Spread toasted rolls with tartar sauce. Place one fillet on each roll, then top with lettuce and tomato. Serve immediately.
