Chef Andrew Gruel
Slapfish Restaurant
Huntington Beach, Calif.
Operators are downsizing entrees to create craveable, satisfying appetizers and snacks. At fast casual Slapfish, chef Andrew Gruel transforms a grilled fish sandwich into a slider, layered on a mini brioche bun with a bold housemade sauce. Serve it at an outdoor event, grilling the tilapia in batches and passing around the sliders on trays.
Ingredients
Lobster Sauce
1 cup mayo
1 lemon, juiced and zested
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tsp. minced chives
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp. old bay seasoning
Sliders
1 lb. tilapia, cut into 4 pieces
Grapeseed oil
4 soft brioche slider rolls
