Ingredients
  

  • 4 firm white fish fillets (cod, tilapia, snapper, or halibut)

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 4 sandwich rolls

Method

  2. Preheat and prepare your cookware as needed. Cooking times and results may vary depending on your equipment and ingredients.
  3. Pat fish dry and season evenly on both sides. Lightly brush with olive oil.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil grates.
  5. Grill fish 3–4 minutes per side until it flakes easily and reaches 145°F (63°C).
  6. Toast rolls cut-side down about 1 minute until lightly golden.
  7. Let fish rest 2 minutes before assembling.

Notes

 
    • Dry fish thoroughly and avoid overcooking for best texture.
    • Use firm fish varieties so they hold together well.
    • Cooking time may vary depending on grill heat and fish thickness.
    • Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours and store in an airtight container up to 3 days.
    • Reheat gently in a skillet or oven until heated through before serving.
