From the Test Kitchen

Flaky tilapia fillets—dusted with a blend of spices like paprika, ground mustard, and cayenne pepper—are sandwiched between crusty, oven-toasted baguettes and creamy rémoulade (a rich combination of mayonnaise, capers, garlic, and more). A simple side of roasted broccoli is brightened with sweet peppadew peppers and just a touch of tangy vinegar.
