  • ๐Ÿฅ„ 2 tablespoons mayo

  • ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ Green habanero salsa
  • ๐ŸŒฝ 1 cup corn flour (maseca)
  • ๐Ÿง‚ Salt and pepper, to taste
  • ๐Ÿง„ 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ๐Ÿง… 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

For Assembly:

  • ๐Ÿž 2 Brioche Buns
  • ๐Ÿงˆ Butter, for toasting

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Coleslaw:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, fresh cilantro, and chopped dill pickles.
    • Add the mayonnaise, black pepper, onion powder, and lime juice. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly coated. Set aside in the refrigerator to chill.
  2. Prep the Tilapia:
    • Pat the tilapia fillets dry with a paper towel. Season them lightly with salt and black pepper.
    • In a shallow dish, combine the corn flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix with a fork to blend the seasonings.
  3. Coat the Fish:
    • Dip each tilapia fillet into the seasoned corn flour mixture, ensuring they are well-coated on all sides.
  4. Fry the Fish:
    • Heat oil in a deep fryer or large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the coated tilapia fillets.
    • Deep fry the fish for about 3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  5. Toast the Buns:
    • In a separate skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Place the brioche buns cut side down and toast until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Assemble the Sandwich:
    • Spread a generous layer of green habanero salsa on the bottom half of each toasted brioche bun.
    • Place a piece of fried tilapia on the salsa layer, followed by a heaping of the prepared coleslaw.
    • Top with the other half of the brioche bun and press gently to hold everything together.

Cooking Tips:

  • Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the fish to prevent it from becoming greasy.
  • Adjust the amount of habanero salsa according to your spice preference.
