    This was a very tasty dish. I used dried thyme leaves instead of the ground thyme to give the fish some more texture and visual appeal. I also omitted the onion powder and ground red pepper. I used a George Foreman grill to grill the fish and it turned out great. The mayo is delicious and so easy to make!

    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.
