This was a 10-minute fridge cleaner for me, but basic method was:
Cut some firm white fish to a size much too big for your roll, then season with whatever you want. I used roasted garlic powder, salt, pepper, paprika, and chili powder. For the fish I used basa because it’s as cheap as tilapia but I like the flavor better.
Melt a little butter in a nonstick pan and toast your buns. Set them aside, then add a bit more butter, turn the heat to medium-ish, and fry up your fish. It’s done when you poke it with a butter knife and it slides in easily. Babysit the heat so that your fish cooks slowly enough so as not to burn your butter or spices, but fast enough that you get some good color.
Make some slaw. I make my own a lot but today I had pre-shredded mix and and a cilantro dressing from Trader Joe’s. Guess what, that’s slaw! I did add some chopped scallions.
Then plate it up and you’re done! I smeared on some sour cream to complete the vaguely Mexican thing I had going on, and also had the delightful benefit of some ramp salt my neighbor gave me, which gave everything a nice little something. And it looks fancy.
