INSTRUCTIONS
MAKE THE SLAW
- Mix the chopped cabbage, carrot and onion in a large bowl.
- Meanwhile, mix the mayo and Tony Chachere’s BOLD spice together in a small bowl. Squeeze the juice from one lime in and stir to combine.
- Add the mayo mixture to the cabbage and toss to combine and coat well. Cover and store until ready to use.
SEAR THE FISH
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat until smoking.
- While heating, pat the swordfish dry.
- Brush the butter on the swordfish and sprinkle a heavy coating of Tony Chachere’s BOLD spice blend over the fish.
- Lay the fish carefully into the hot pan.
- Cook 2 to 3 minutes a side, until the fish pulls back easily from the pan and is golden.
- Flip and cook another 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove from heat.
BUILD THE SANDWICH
- Meanwhile, slather the insides of the bulkie rolls with mayo and toast on a hot griddle. The mayo produces a great toasted crust.
- When ready to assemble, arrange the toasted bulkie rolls onto a serving platter. Arrange lettuce and a slice of tomato over the bottom half of the bun.
- Add the swordfish and then top with a helping of the slaw.
- Finish off with the remaining roll half and serve.
