Fish Sandwiches with Lemon-Dill Aioli

Directions

Ingredients :

1 cup mayonnaise

½ medium lemon

juiced

1 clove garlic

minced

2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill

or to taste

1 dash cayenne pepper

1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

1 tablespoon chili powder

½ tablespoon garlic powder

¾ teaspoon dried thyme

¾ teaspoon cayenne pepper

or to taste

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil

or as needed

4 (4 ounce) tilapia fillets

4 each sandwich buns

split and toasted

Methods :

Combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, dill, cayenne, salt, and pepper for aioli in a bowl. Let flavors mingle for at least 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine chili powder, garlic powder, thyme, cayenne, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle a little of the seasoning mixture over each side of the tilapia.

Place a medium to large pan on the stovetop over medium heat. Add just enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan and allow oil to heat, 1 to 2 minutes. Add fish to the hot oil and cook until it flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes on each side.

Spread a little aioli onto each half of the toasted buns. Place cooked fish on the bottom half; top with remaining half. Serve with extra aioli on the side.
