Blackened Tilapia Sandwich with Cilantro Lime Mayonnaise and Baked Red Potato Chips
Posted by Aggies Kitchen on April 21st, 2009. Filed under: Main Dishes - Seafood, Paula Deen, Sandwiches, Side Dish - Vegetable.
Recently Jamie told me about a recipe she tried and loved…a blackened tilapia sandwich with cilantro lime mayonnaise. Everything about it sounded great to me so of course I had to try it.
The recipe originally came from Paula Deen, but really all I followed from her recipe was the Cilantro Mayonnaise. For the blacknening seasoning I instead used Chef Paul Prudhomme Blackened Redfish Magic. I discovered this seasoning last year in St. Thomas of all places, when I ordered the best tasting blackened fish sandwich. I love this stuff.
Recipe adapted from Paula Deen
4 tilapia filets (I used frozen tilapia from Costco)
Blackened Redfish Magic seasoning
non stick spray
fresh kaiser rolls
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Sprinkle seasoning liberally (or lightly, based on your taste) on each tilapia filet. Place each piece of fish into hot pan sprayed with non stick spray. Cook fish until flaky, approximately 3-4 minutes on each side.
For mayonnaise, combine all ingredients in small bowl. Cover and chill.
Serve tilapia on kaiser rolls with cilantro lime mayonnaise and your favorite side dish!
Homemade Baked Red Potato Chips
Recipe from Aggie’s Kitchen
6-8 medium red potatoes, sliced thin
1-2 tsp olive oil
salt and pepper
In a medium bowl, gently toss potatoes with olive oil and salt and pepper. Place potato slices on baking/cooling rack placed into a cookie sheet**. Bake in 425 degree oven for approximately 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
**using a baking/cooling rack placed into a cookie sheet is important for air baking and keeping both sides of potato slices crisp**

Oh, my but this sounds good. That cilantro-lime mayo has my name on it!

I love cilantro and though I’m not a fan of mayo…cilantro/lime mayo does sound appealing.

Sounds awesome. I love tilapia but have never had it blackened! Will def be trying this
Roast red potato chips are the best! We just made them the other night

I love everything about this. I cannot get enough fresh fish!
April 21st, 2009 at 4:02 pm
That sounds awesome! So simple and tasty – minus the cilantro mayo for me, I really hate cilantro.
April 21st, 2009 at 4:32 pm
Not a fan of cilantro, but I’d definitely want a bite of that blackened tilapia! Looks like a great sandwich!

Love cilantro, this would be a meal I would eat in no time. I would use the blackened fish and the cilantro lime mayo and make tacos.

This looks great – the perfect meal to eat on the deck!

I love blackened tilapia – it was my favorite thing to get at our favorite Caribbean restaurant in Chicago. Looks SO good!
April 21st, 2009 at 7:33 pm
I’ve never had tilapia and it looks so good! I love the mayo flavour you’ve put with it. Yum!

Blackened tilapia is one of my all-time favorites things to eat. This sandwich looks perfect. I love the chips you made too.
April 21st, 2009 at 8:08 pm
I am making this as soon as I can get everything I need from the store! It looks incredible!
April 21st, 2009 at 8:13 pm

Lovin’ the simplicity of the recipe! I am always scared to cook fish….worried that the aroma will be too much in the house….do you have a secret or is the secret fresh fish???
April 21st, 2009 at 9:42 pm
EmmyJMommy – Tilapia isn’t too fishy, so I think it would be a good fish to start with…I don’t find the aroma to be bad at all. Oh and I should have mentioned that my fish was frozen! I wish I was able to get fresh fish every day!

Mmmm, tilapia. One of the few fishes I enjoy. That looks fantastic, I love the cilantro/lime mayo.

Aggie,
I’m so glad you loved this recipe and posted it. It is a delicious fish sandwich and I panfryed it in my cast iron skillet. If anyone is ever in the Pensacola FL area, you must check out Joe Patti’s seafood. I’m very lucky to have a place to get such fresh seafood.

Cilantro-lime?! Yum!!
April 21st, 2009 at 10:38 pm
I’m not a fan of cilantro or mayo, but the sandwich and potatoes look delicious!
April 21st, 2009 at 11:39 pm
I love tilapia, such a great fish!! I have never tried it on a sandwich though. Great idea!! I love the chips too!
April 21st, 2009 at 11:43 pm
That looks fantastic!! I don’t know if I have ever tried Tilapia yet… But I love white flaky fish, so I think I would love this sandwich!

I love this sandwich! I’ve seen Paula make that mayo and have made it with lemon instead of lime, which is also really good.
April 22nd, 2009 at 2:34 am
Wow! This just sounds marvelous, especially the mayo.
April 22nd, 2009 at 9:47 am
Why is it everytime I visit your blog Aggie that I feel liek you have cooked it specially for me! I would eat this fish sandwich and savour it – I eat fish like this at home and love it.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.

Now that is definitely not your average sandwich. This one is AMAZING! Very impressive Aggie and I can only imagine how fantastic this tastes.
