Grilled Tilapia Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tilapia

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the tilapia fillets with olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.

  2. 2

    Grill the Fish

    Place the seasoned tilapia fillets on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  3. 3

    Toast the Bread

    While the fish is grilling, toast the slices of whole wheat bread until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Slice the tomato and red onion into thin slices.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread chipotle mayonnaise on one side of each slice of toasted bread. Layer with lettuce, grilled tilapia, tomato, and onion. Top with another slice of bread.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately with your choice of side.
