Grilled Amberjack Sandwiches with Spicy Tartar Sauce
- Four 4- to 6-ounce amberjack fillets, cleaned of all skin and bones (mahi does well as a substitute)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons fish rub, such as Emeril's Fish Rub
- 1 cup mayonnaise, homemade or store-bought
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro or dill
- 2 tablespoons dill pickle relish
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- Sea salt and cracked black pepper
- 1 to 2 tablespoons hot sauce of choice, preferably Louisiana-style or Sriracha
- 4 medium hamburger buns or rolls of choice
- 4 large leaves romaine lettuce
- Heat a grill or grill pan to medium heat.
- Brush the fillets with the olive oil and sprinkle on all sides with the fish rub.
- When the grill is hot, place the fillets evenly spaced on the grill.
- Cook until the fish is just cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
- Flip only once if possible.
- While the fish is cooking, combine the mayonnaise, cilantro, relish, garlic and a sprinkle of salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
- Start with a generous tablespoon of hot sauce, then stir and taste to assess the heat.
- If more is preferred, add up to 1 more tablespoon.
- Set aside.
- Slice the buns and place face-down on the grill until toasted, or toast in the oven.
- Spread the desired amount of the tartar sauce, around 2 tablespoons, on the top half of each bun.
- Place the grilled fish on the bottom halves.
- If desired, quickly grill the romaine leaves until some light charring occurs.
- Top each sandwich with 1 leaf and enjoy!
- Steak-like fish, such as amberjack or mahi, indicate their doneness as the sides turn white.
- Once the sides are white a little over halfway, flip the fish.
