Tilapia Bruschetta Sandwich- Colorful horseradish bruschetta is topped with tilapia to complete this open face sandwich recipe. Try it for your next lunch!

When most people think of bruschetta, they think of grilled bread rubbed with garlic, topped with either chopped olives or tomatoes, and drizzled with olive oil. Not too bad, right? But, what if there was something else? What if someone (namely me) showed you a way to take the classic bruschetta to the next level? Well, look no further because I’ve got a savory and delicious Tilapia Bruschetta Sandwich that will totally get you thinking about antipasti in an entirely different way.

I took artisan honey white bread, grilled it to a toasty and buttery perfection, then grabbed a bit of chopped endive, diced red sweet bell pepper, diced mushroom, and shredded Parmesan. Then, I combined those ingredients with a dollop or two of spicy horseradish. Now, I could have stopped right there and you would have been very pleased. But then I got to thinking, “I bet some butter-fried tilapia would be awesome on this.” And you know what? I was right! Check out the details down below.

Tilapia Bruschetta Sandwich

Ingredients:

  • 1 or 2 herbed tilapia fillets
  • 1 – 2 slices of good quality white bread
  • 1 1/2 cups endive, chopped
  • 1/3 cup sweet red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted sweet cream butter
  • 3 (divided) tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons horseradishTilapia Bruschetta Sandwich ingredients

  2. In a large non-stick skillet over med-high heat, add one tbsp of unsalted butter and a tablespoon of EVOO.  When the butter and oil are hot add a tilapia fillet and cook through until the top is a golden brown (2 – 3 minutes per side). Use a spatula and turn tilapia over, add more butter and EVOO, then repeat the process. When the tilapia is finished cooking, place it on a warm plate lined with paper towel.
  3. Using the same large skillet, whip it clean and over med-high heat add a tablespoon of butter and a tablespoon of EVOO. When the butter and oil mixture is hot, toast bread until golden brown on each side. Place toasted bread on a plate.
  4. Remove chopped endive mixture from the refrigerator and spoon a heaping tablespoon over the bread evenly. Top with pan-fried tilapia.
  5. Serve.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
