Pan Fried Tilapia Sandwich

¼ cup mayonnaise

¼ cup minced red onion

½ cup finely chopped tomato

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 pepperjack cheese

4 slices whole wheat bread, toasted

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

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 pepperjack cheese on top of each fillet, cover the skillet, and cook until the cheese has melted.

Place each tilapia fillet onto a slice of toasted bread, spread with the reserved sauce, then top with the remaining slices of bread.
