We're excited to share the culinary seafood awesomeness that unfolds in the homes of our very own teammates. This recipe was developed by Member Experience Specialist Andrea Trent, who created this bold white fish sandwich with a little spice in mind.
Two key ingredients bring the heat. Curry powder gives a pan-fried fillet of Pacific cod a vibrant dusting of flavor and deliciously golden color. To dress the sandwich, you'll use a Moroccan chili paste called harissa to make a perfectly spiced chili mayo.
"I love bold flavors and a great sandwich is the perfect food," says Andrea. "Harissa is one of my favorite condiments (yes, I rank my condiments) and this recipe came about as an excuse to use it. This sandwich is packed with flavors and feels like a trip around the world on a bun."
Harissa is a chili paste that is smoky, thick, and versatile beyond this chili mayo — but if it isn't an ingredient that you have in your pantry, you can substitute any chili paste or hot sauce that you like. Note for milder palates who want to enjoy a fish sandwich that has a gentle kick: the spice level of this recipe can be adjusted simply by adding the chili paste/hot sauce to taste when mixing together the spicy mayo.
Additionally, store-bought curry powders have different levels of spice and salt, so make sure you taste the seasoning first to see if there are any adjustments to want to make by either holding back on the seasoning or having a heavier hand.
