Tilapia Sliders and Tartar Sauce Recipe

<< Tilapia Sliders are delicious to serve as appetizers or as a light meal together with a salad. Adjust the size of the ingredients as listed below to suit the size of the rolls that you are using. The addition of cornmeal and cheese to the fish in the sliders gives this recipe a lot of great taste and firm texture.

Ingredients:

• ½ cup milk
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup flour
• ¼ cup yellow cornmeal
• ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 4 tilapia fillets, cut into 16 equal pieces - each fillet cut into quarters
• 3 tbsp. olive oil
• 16 rolls – mini hamburger buns, mini challah rolls, Parker House or Hawaiian rolls, your favorite rolls cut in half
• 4 leaves of romaine lettuce, quartered
• 1 tomato, sliced
• 4 slices of cheddar cheese, cut into quarters (feel free to substitute your favorite type of cheese, whether full or lowfat)

• ½ cup mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp. pickle relish
• 1 tbsp. lemon juice or vinegar
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Dunk fillets in milk mixture and then dredge in the cornmeal mixture, coating both sides evenly.

In a large sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Once oil is hot, add fish to the pan. Cook on one side until light golden brown, about 3 minutes then turn over and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from pan with slotted spatula or spoon and drain on paper towels.

To prepare tartar sauce, whisk together all of the ingredients. If desired, place in food processor and pulse until blended, not pureed.

Slice the rolls and place a cooked fish fillet on each bottom half. Top with lettuce, tomato, cheese and tartar sauce.

Note: Condiments may include mustard, honey mustard, ketchup or barbecue sauce.

Tilapia Sliders serves: 8 (2 sliders each).
