Grilled Tilapia Poboys With Homemade Tartar Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Pulse the bread in a food processor until finely ground. Scoop 1 cup of the bread crumbs into a medium bowl and spread the remaining bread crumbs (about 3/4 cup) on a large plate. Grate the zest of the lemon into the bowl along with the breadcrumbs.
• Pulse the fish in the food processor until coarsely diced (do not form a paste). Add the fish to the bowl with the lemon-bread crumbs along with the pickles, mayonnaise, egg, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Form into 4 patties and dredge in the bread crumbs on the plate, turning to coat both sides.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. When hot, add the fish cakes and cook, flipping once, until golden and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Halve the lemon and squeeze half of the juice into a bowl. Cut the other half into wedges. Toss the baby greens with the lemon juice and remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Serve the fish cakes with the salad and lemon wedges.

Steps:

• For the tartar sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, pickles, onion, lemon juice, lemon zest and garlic powder in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Prepare a grill or preheat a broiler. If using a broiler, line a baking sheet with foil.
• Brush the tilapia fillets with some olive oil and season them with the salt and black pepper. Cut the bread into 4 sections, then halve each section lengthwise.
• Put the fish on the grill or, if broiling, transfer the fillets to the prepared baking sheet. Grill or broil, turning once, until the fish is cooked through, about 6 minutes. Lay the bread on the grill, cut side down, or broiler, cut side up, and grill or broil until toasted, about 1 minute.
• For 1 sandwich, layer 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 cover the sandwich. Repeat with remaining bread and filling. Arrange on a serving platter and serve.

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.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 200°F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and set aside. In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, red onion, relish, parsley, capers, and lemon juice. Cover and refrigerate. Line up three wide shallow dishes. Put the flour in the first; beat the eggs lightly in the second; put the breadcrumbs in the third. Season the tilapia with salt and pepper. Working with one fillet at a time, coat it with flour and shake off the excess. Then dip the fillet in the egg and dredge it in the breadcrumbs, patting them on to help them adhere. Set each breaded fillet on a plate or tray as you finish it. Pour the oil 1/4 inch deep into a 10- to 12-inch skillet. Heat over medium heat until it is hot but not smoking, or until a breadcrumb sizzles and browns quickly when dropped in the oil. Cook two of the tilapia fillets until they are crisp and browned, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to the baking sheet, sprinkle with salt, and keep warm in the oven while you cook the remaining two fillets. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and the tartar sauce.
