Submitted By: J&D
February 10, 2010

Ingredients

1/2  cup Baconnaise

3/4  teaspoon  fresh-ground black pepper

1/8  teaspoon  cayenne

4  large crusty rolls, split

3/4  cup  cornmeal

1 1/4  teaspoons  Bacon Salt (any flavor)

1/2  teaspoon  dried thyme

2  pounds  tilapia fillets

2  eggs, beaten to mix

1/4  cup  cooking oil

3  cups  tender greens, such as spinach or leaf lettuce (about 2 ounces)

Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine the Baconnaise, 1/2 teaspoon of the black pepper, and the cayenne. Spread the Baconnaise mixture on the rolls.

2. In a shallow bowl, combine the cornmeal with the Bacon Salt, thyme, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Dip the fillets into the beaten eggs and then into the seasoned cornmeal. Shake off the excess cornmeal.

3. In a large nonstick frying pan, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the cornmeal-coated fish and fry, turning once, until golden on the outside and just done in the center, about 4 minutes per side for 3/4-inch-thick fillets. Drain the fish on paper towels. Sandwich the tilapia and greens in the rolls.
