⅓ cup margarine, melted
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 (4 ounce) fillets tilapia fillets
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup heavy cream
2 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
2 jalapeno peppers, minced
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 (5 ounce) package baby spinach leaves

JALAPEñO GARLIC TILAPIA PANINI



Jalapeño Garlic Tilapia Panini image

This is my own personal copycat recipe mimicking Johnny Carino's sandwich. Their menu description is "Fried fillet of tilapia with a garlic-jalapeño cream sauce, provolone cheese and sliced roma tomatoes." I think that I have accomplished this by using ideas from CoffeeMom's Super Easy Ritz Cracker Breading (recipe #98000) and ketchup's Garlic Cream Sauce (recipe #85676). (Thanks, guys!) We love this sandwich.

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 tilapia fillets
1 cup Club crackers, finely crushed
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon butter
1 small jalapeno, finely diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons flour
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup sour cream
8 slices hearty country Italian bread
2 tablespoons olive oil or 2 tablespoons butter
2 roma tomatoes, sliced thinly
8 slices provolone cheese

Steps:

  • Fish:.
  • Crush crackers and combine with pepper.
  • Dip fish fillets into beaten egg, and then coat with cracker crumbs.
  • Fry in 350 degree oil until breading is golden and fish flakes easily.
  • Remove to an oven-proof plate in a warm oven.
  • Sauce:.
  • Melt butter on low heat. Add jalapeño and garlic. Sauté until jalapeño is softened, but be careful not to burn garlic.
  • Add flour and stir while heating about a minute.
  • Add chicken broth and cook stirring until sauce thickens. Stir in sour cream.
  • Set aside until ready to assemble the panini's.
  • Panini:.
  • Brush one side of each slice of bread with olive oil or spread with butter.
  • Assemble sandwiches with oiled/buttered side of bread to the outside, layering provolone cheese, sliced tomatoes, tilapia fillet, cream sauce and final slice of bread.
  • Spray a cast iron grill pan with cooking spray and heat to sizzling. Reduce heat to medium.
  • Place sandwich in grill pan and top with second cast iron skillet. Press down lightly. (You want to smush the sandwich lightly, but not squash it completely.).
  • Cook for 1-2 minutes, depending on the heat of your pan, until the sandwich is browned and grill marks are evident.
  • Flip sandwich and again top with second cast iron skillet. Cook for another minute or so, until fully browned.
  • Serve warm with fresh salad or crunchy kettle-cooked chips.

Tips:

  • To ensure the tilapia fillets cook evenly, make sure they are of uniform thickness. If necessary, use a sharp knife to slice them to an even thickness.
  • To prevent the tilapia from sticking to the pan, make sure the pan is hot before adding the fish. Also, use a non-stick pan or lightly grease the pan with cooking spray.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking the tilapia. If the pan is too crowded, the fish will not cook evenly and may end up steaming instead of frying.
  • Cook the tilapia until it is opaque throughout. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes per side for fillets that are about ½ inch thick.
  • To make the garlic-jalapeño sauce, use fresh jalapeños for the best flavor. If you do not have fresh jalapeños, you can use canned jalapeños, but be sure to drain them well before using.
  • If you like your sauce spicy, add more jalapeños to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra kick.
  • Serve the tilapia immediately with the garlic-jalapeño sauce and your favorite pasta.

Conclusion:

This recipe for Jalapeno Garlic Tilapia Pasta is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The tilapia is cooked to perfection in a flavorful garlic-jalapeño sauce, and the pasta is perfectly al dente. This dish is also relatively healthy, as it is made with lean tilapia and plenty of vegetables.
