Ocean Perch Fish Sandwich
Turn Ocean Perch fillets into an incredible sandwich. Give the fish fillets a light breading before putting them on a hot pan with butter. We add some onion slices, mini marzano tomatoes to the grill to caramelize. Last we whip up a fresh tartar sauce and combine everything in a Portuguese roll.
Ingredients
- 6-8 fillets ocean perch, remove bones & check for scales
- 6 mini marzano tomatoes, sliced in half
- 2 slices red onion
- 1 small handful cilantro, plucked and washed
- 2 portuguese rolls, sliced in half
- olive oil, enough to just cover the bottom of the pan
Breading
- 1/4 c flour
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp celery seed
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp chili powder
- zest of 1 lemon
Tartar Sauce
- 4 tsbp mayonnaise, (olive oil mayo)
- 1/2 juice of lemon
- 1/2 tsp brown spicy mustard
- 6 slices pickled jalepeno, chopped
- pinch sea salt
- pinch black pepper
- pinch celery seed
- pinch chili powder
- pinch nutmeg
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.
