po'boy sandwiches

From 04/23/2010 (by Eye-Fi)

I was going to make these last Friday, but we had no power from 3:50-9 pm or so, so cooking the fish was out (and I ended up having to throw out the fish fillets I had thawed). We tried it this week instead- served with canned peaches.

Fish Fillets

1/4 cup cornmeal
3 TBSP Old Bay Seasoning/other seafood seasoning
4 boneless firm fish fillets (~6 oz each)
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Topping

1/2 cup Tartar Sauce (I made my own with light mayo, relish and lemon juice)
1 TBSP minced red onions
3-4 romaine lettuce leaves, cut into rough shred

4 kaiser or sub rolls
1 tomato

Place cornmeal and Old Bay on plate and mix well. Press fish into it to coat it. Heat the oil in skillet on med. high heat, until hot but not smoking. Add fish and cook 3-4 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Place fish on paper towel to soak up excess oil.

While frying fish, in a bowl, stir together the Tartar Sauce and onions, add the lettuce and toss until evenly coated. Toast rolls and slice tomato.

To make sandwiches, place a fish fillet on the bottom half of each roll. Spoon on some topping, add tomato slices, and cap with top half of roll.
