Pan Fried Tilapia

4 Servings Prep/Total Time: 20 Min.

Ingredients

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cup minced red onion

4 tablespoons dill pickle relish

salt and ground black pepper to taste

 

2 (4 ounce) fillets tilapia fillets

1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

2 tablespoons butter

4 slices rovolonecheese

4 slices whole wheat bread, toasted (optional)

Directions

    1.  Tartar Sauce: Stir together the mayonnaise, onion, and relish in a small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and set aside.
    2. Season the tilapia fillets on both sides with the seafood seasoning and garlic powder. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the tilapia fillets until they are golden brown on both sides and no longer translucent in the center, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Place two slices of provolone cheese on top of each fillet, cover the skillet, and cook until the cheese has melted.
    3. Place each tilapia fillet onto a slice of toasted bread (if making sandwich), spread with the reserved sauce, then top with the remaining slices of bread.
    4. Or serve on plate with sauce on the side.
