For the Blackened Grouper

Method

Prepare the Blackened Grouper

  1. 1

    Mix the Spice Blend

    In a small bowl, combine paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a spice blend.

  2. 2

    Season the Grouper

    Rub the spice blend evenly over the grouper fillets, ensuring that they are well-coated with the spices.

  3. 3

    Heat the Olive Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  4. 4

    Cook the Grouper

    Add the seasoned grouper fillets to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and set aside.

Assemble the Sandwich

  1. 5

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, fresh lime juice, and chopped cilantro until well combined.

  2. 6

    Toast the Ciabatta Rolls

    While the grouper is cooking, slice the ciabatta rolls in half and toast them lightly on a grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  3. 7

    Build the Sandwich

    On the bottom half of each toasted ciabatta roll, layer the lettuce leaves, followed by the cooked grouper fillet, sliced tomato, and red onion. Spread the cilantro-lime mayonnaise generously on the top half of the roll.

  4. 8

    Serve

    Close the sandwich and serve immediately while the grouper is still warm. Enjoy your Blackened Grouper Sandwich!
