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 piquante peppers and just a touch of tangy vinegar.

Prepare the ingredients
1 Prepare the ingredients

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the bottom ½ inch of the broccoli stem; cut the broccoli into small florets. Roughly chop the peppers. Roughly chop the capers. Peel 1 clove of garlic; using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate into a paste. Halve the baguettes. Cut off and discard the root end of the lettuce; halve lengthwise, then separate the leaves. Halve the pickle chips.

Roast & dress the broccoli
2 Roast & dress the broccoli

Line a sheet pan with foil. Place the broccoli florets on the foil. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer. Roast 14 to 16 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the chopped peppers, half the vinegar, and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss to coat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

Pat the fish dry with paper towels. Season on both sides with salt, pepper, and the spice blend. In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned fish. Cook 3 to 4 minutes per side (if the pan seems dry, add a drizzle of olive oil before flipping), or until browned and cooked through.* Transfer to a cutting board and carefully halve each fillet lengthwise.

*An instant-read thermometer should register 145°F.

Toast the baguettes
5 Toast the baguettes

Meanwhile, place the halved baguettes on a separate sheet pan, cut side up. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toast in the oven 5 to 6 minutes, or until lightly browned around the edges. Carefully transfer to a work surface.
