4tsbp mayonnaise(olive oil mayo)
1/2 juice of lemon
1/2tsp brown spicy mustard
6slices pickled jalepenochopped
pinch sea salt
pinch black pepper
pinch celery seed
pinch chili powder

Instructions

Breading

Combine all breading ingredients on a plate and mix together with a fork.

Tartar Sauce

Combine all tartar sauce ingredients in a bowl and mix together. Set aside.

Cooking

Heat olive oil over medium high heat in a pan large enough to fit all the fillets, tomatoes, and onions. As an alternative you can use two pans to accomplish this.
After a few minutes the oil should sizzle when you flick a little flower in the pan. Now that the pan is hot, bread each side of the fillet and add to the pan.
Cook for 5 minutes and then flip over and cook for another 3-5 minutes until the edges brown lightly and fish becomes slightly flakey.
While the fish cook, add the tomatoes and onion to the pan until lightly caramelized (3-5 minutes).
Once the fish, tomatoes, and onion have finished cooking place on a side plate. Add the portuguese rolls to the pan to toast the insides (3 minutes).

Build Sandwich

Add the tartar sauce to both sides of the bun. Top with red onion, then fish fillets, tomatoes, and cilantro.
