Health and fertility benefits of Grilled Tilapia Po' Boys with Homemade Tartar Sauce

Romaine lettuce contains chromium, which helps maintain normal blood glucose levels by making insulin more efficient. The chromium in romaine lettuce also promotes weight loss due to its ability to help control cravings, reduce hunger, and control fat in the blood. Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to.

Ingredients

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped sweet pickles
2 tablespoons red onion, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
4 (7 oz) tilapia fillets
olive oil, for brushing
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly cracked
1 to 2 loaves French bread
2 medium beefsteak tomatoes, cut into 8 slices
4 leaves romaine lettuce

Instructions

Prepare a grill or preheat a broiler. If using a broiler, line a baking sheet with foil.
Combine the mayonnaise, pickles, onion, lemon juice and garlic powder in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Brush the tilapia fillets with some olive oil and season them with the salt and black pepper. Cut the bread into 4 (7-inch) sections, then halve each section lengthwise.
Put the fish on the grill or, if broiling, transfer the fillets to the prepared baking sheet. Grill or broil, turning once, until the fish is cooked through, about 6 minutes. Lay the bread on the grill, cut side down, or broiler, cut side up, and grill or broil until toasted, about 1 minute.
For 1 sandwich, layer 1 tilapia fillet on the bottom slice of bread, followed by 2 slices of tomato and 1 lettuce leaf. Spread the top slice of bread with 2 tablespoons of the tartar sauce and cover the sandwich. Repeat with remaining bread and filling. Arrange on a serving platter and serve.
