Yummy Sandwiches!

I don’t have much to share other than a recipe tonight. We had some amazing fish tonight and I just feel like I have to pass it along. I got fresh tilapia filets from Whole Foods and french hamburger buns from the Publix bakery. We also had homemade chips to compliment them that were to die for. I have already forgotten that we almost burned the house down when the oil got too hot. These sandwiches made that all go away …

Paula Deen’s Blackened Tilapia Sandwich

• 1/4 cup sweet paprika
• 2 tablespoons ground thyme
• 2 teaspoons onion powder (FYI, we don’t like onion so I didn’t use it.)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
• 4 (10-ounce) tilapia fillets
• 4 Kaiser buns, split, buttered and toasted (Again, I used french. They were crispy and delicious.

Directions

In a shallow dish, combine first 6 ingredients.

Pour melted butter into another shallow dish. Dip fish fillets in melted butter and coat with seasoning mixture.

Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Cook prepared fish, in batches if necessary, 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

I then made some cilantro lime mustard that we slathered on our toasted buns. French hamburger buns, that is.

Cilantro Lime Mustard

• 1 cup stone ground mustard
• 1/3 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
• 2 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin

Directions

Place all ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix together completely. Chill for 1 to 2 hours before serving.
