Ingredients

  • ½ cup finely chopped tomato

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise

  • ¼ cup minced red onion

  • 2 tablespoons dill pickle relish

  • ½ teaspoon ground piri piri chile pepper

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 2 (4 ounce) fillets tilapia fillets

  • 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 4 slices pepper Jack cheese

  • 4 slices whole wheat bread, toasted

Directions

  1. Stir tomato, mayonnaise, red onion, relish, and piri piri together in a small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

  2. Season tilapia on both sides with seafood seasoning and garlic powder.

  3. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add seasoned tilapia and cook until golden brown and fish flakes easily with a fork, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Place two slices of pepper Jack on top of each fillet, cover the skillet, and cook until cheese melts, 1 to 2 minutes.

  4. Transfer each tilapia fillet to a slice of toasted bread. Spread with mayonnaise sauce and top with remaining bread.

Tips

If you can't find piri piri, use cayenne pepper instead.
