Best snack ever. The only problem is that you won’t be able to have just one!
Fortunately, this recipe makes a dozen sliders so you can afford to share one or two. These would be great at your next backyard barbeque. —Coley @ Coley Cooks
Ingredients
-
2/3 cup
mayonnaise
-
1
small shallot, minced
-
1/4 cup
minced dill pickles
-
1
lemon, zested and juiced
-
2 tablespoons
capers, drained, rinsed and minced
-
2 tablespoons
finely minced parsley
-
freshly cracked pepper, to taste
-
12
small slider rolls, sliced in half lengthwise
-
2 tablespoons
salted butter
-
12
small pieces of little gem, bibb, or other delicate lettuce
-
2
plum tomatoes, cut into 12 even slices
-
1 pound
skinless barramundi fillets, cut into 12 2-inch squares
-
2 tablespoons
blackening seasoning
-
1 tablespoon
vegetable oil
-
12
toothpicks, for serving
Directions
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, shallot, pickles, lemon zest, lemon juice, capers, parsley and pepper, then cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
-
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then place the slider rolls in the pan cut side down. Cook until lightly browned and toasted, about 2 minutes. Remove to a serving platter and top each bottom roll with a small piece of lettuce and a slice of tomato.
-
Coat the barramundi pieces all over with blackening seasoning. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet (cast iron works best) over high heat. Cook the barramundi pieces until blackened on one side, about 2 minutes, then flip and cook on the other side until opaque throughout, about 1-2 minutes more.
-
Place a piece of fish on each bun on top of the tomato, then spoon a generous amount of lemon tartar sauce on top. Place the top bun over the sauce and secure with a toothpick. Serve immediately.
