RUB
1 tbsp salt
1 tsp each of granulated sugar, freshly ground black pepper, paprika, cayenne, dried thyme and dried oregano
2 tsp each of chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder and onion powder
SALAD
3/4 cup blueberries, divided
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/4 tsp granulated sugar
Pinches of salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1 small head romaine, torn
90-125 g feta cheese, crumbled
SALSA
1 medium to large underripe mango, peeled and julienned
3/4 cup julienned red onion
3/4 cup seeded and diced tomato
1/2 large lime, juice and zest
1/2 tsp granulated sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp vegetable oil
FISH
4 tilapia fillets or other white fish fillets
3 to 4 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
1/2 cup all purpose flour
4 Italian rolls, each about 6 to 8 inches long
3 to 4 romaine lettuce, shredded
1/4 cup chopped coriander
- Stir rub ingredients together; store in an airtight jar, out of the light for up to several weeks.
- Measure 1/4 cup blueberries into a small mixing bowl. Mash with a fork. Add vinegar, sugar and salt; set aside for 30 minutes or more at room temperature. Then strain through a fine strainer, discarding solids.
- Whisk 2 tbsp blueberry vinegar with oil. (Cover and refrigerate remaining blueberry vinegar for another time.) Toss with romaine just before serving. Scatter salad with remaining blueberries and feta.
- Toss mango with red onion and tomato. Stir lime juice and zest with sugar, salt, garlic and oil. Drizzle over mango mixture; stir well. Set aside to develop flavours for 30 minutes at room temperature or cover and refrigerate for up to half a day (bring to room temperature before serving).
- When ready to serve sandwiches, sprinkle each side of fillet with 1/2 tsp rub. Heat 1 tbsp oil over medium heat until very hot. Dip each fillet into flour; shake off excess. Fry each coated fillet for 3 to 4 minutes per side, using more oil as needed, or until a fork separating fish flakes shows centre to be opaque.
- Meanwhile, line rolls with shredded lettuce. Top with hot fish, cutting to fit as needed, and a heap of the mango salsa. Sprinkle with coriander. Serve with salad.
