so i did dinner tonight my way...but you do what you have to with what you have on hand...it was just that when i saw this recipe i knew i had to try it. i am trying to learn to like fish cooked in ways other than fried.
so...
3 tilapia filets abt 7 oz each (one for lunch tomorrow
didn't have alot of paprika so i mixed in some shawarma spice and cumin
didn't do the butter as i am trying to keep things uber healthy
instead i squirted lime on them and gave them a short spritz of olive oil spray
2 arabic pita breads with lowfat moterrey jack cheese sprinkled on it fish on top and warmed in oven
topped with fresh chopped romaine and avocado slices

made the mayo with abt 2.5 tbl of light miracle whip, juice of one lime and alot of cilantro in the food processor

topped off the warm pita with the lettuce mayo and avocado, rolled it up
and...mmmmm

chile lime baked home fries on the side....

i will make this again...but go a little lighter on the spice...dust to coat...not dredge
HAHA!

title says it all. my wife and i used grouper instead - probably not the 'correct' thing to do but it worked. these aren't my 5 stars there my 13 yo daughter haley's. the 10 yo didn't care too much for the mayo (as expected but everyone else loved it. will use again.

I hate fish, so I try to spice-up the
fish that the Wife wants for dinner.

The Cilantro/Mayo sauce was great. The Rub was a 3 out of 5... Something more
delicate would work better.

It was a great change from slapping
a Tilapia filet down onto a plate. The
kids loved the 'sandwich' part.

I served it with Lettuce, salsa, and sliced pickles... A great meal.

This is the first time I've ever made fish like this - in a sandwich - and it rocks!!!! I used smaller filets, I believe they were like 4oz each so I cut back a little on the amount of each spice used. I didn't have ground red so I used red pepper flakes. I took one reviewers idea and dipped mine in the melted butter and onto a foil lined baking sheet. I sprinkled the seasoning on the fish and baked it at 375 for 13 minutes. Oh my gosh, we loved this fish sandwich. We served it with the cilantro mayo & sliced tomato. I also served a salad and a pasta salad. Will def make this again.

I really love this recipe for the great taste and how EASY it is to prepare. I tried it on a whim, because I had one tilapia fillet left over from another meal. I was pleasantly surprised by the great flavors! I found fresh mango salsa in the grocery store, so it was a quick fix. It was a little on the salty side, but that may have been my error in cutting the ingredients. Unless you're not a big fan of thyme, I highly recommend this.

mediocre at best, maybe we didn't have the right serving size, and thats why it didn't turn out so well, but the tastes really didn't mix. yet the mayo was very good!

This is a really good recipe--the only thing I would suggest is that you use tilapia loins instead of fillets. Her spice rub easily overpowers the delicacy of a thin fillet. A thicker cut like the loin makes it balance out perfectly.

I thought this would be hard to cook, i dont cook a lot of fish so i dont know when done is done but this was so good. My boyfriend ate it all and even asked what else i could make so he could eat the rest of the cilantto lime mayo!
