Fish Sandwiches

by Kelly

I love fish sandwiches. But you don’t always have to fall back on the old fried fish fillet. Try your hand at some really cool variations - here’s one of my favorites:

Mahi-Mahi BLT - that’s right, cause almost everything tastes better with bacon!

4 long slices bacon
2 T olive oil
1 T minced garlic
4 mahi-mahi fillets, skin on (you can substitute other firm fish)
8 slices bread (I prefer multigrain but you can also use hamburger or kaiser rolls)
lettuce
2 large tomatoes, sliced
dash salt
fresh pepper
mayonnaise, oil or salad cream

Okay, it is as easy as it sounds.

Brown your bacon either in a skillet or by popping it into the microwave for a few minutes.

Brush fish fillets lightly with oil (and salt and pepper if you want) and pan saute or grill until fish is opaque (about 10-12 minutes).

Build your sandwich! Layer a fillet, bacon, lettuce and tomato on your bread, toasted or not depending on your preference (hubby likes toasted, my girls do not). Add mayo, oil or salad cream to your taste. Season with salt and pepper.

You can serve with chips, fries or pretzels and a side salad or coleslaw. It’s a perfect spring or summer lunch! And since it’s so easy to make, you can keep the layers separate and assemble on site for a family picnic.

About Kids Dish

If you flip through the pages of a number of kids’ magazines, you get the impression that kids’ meals should be Michelin affairs, complete with matching dishware and veggies cut to resemble the works of impressionist painters.

Let’s be real. Parents don’t have that kind of time. And kids have to eat. The two are not mutually exclusive.

Kids' dish focuses on healthy, practical meal solutions for kids… and occasionally, that might mean matching dishware.
