Instructions:
- Prepare the Coleslaw:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, fresh cilantro, and chopped dill pickles.
- Add the mayonnaise, black pepper, onion powder, and lime juice. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly coated. Set aside in the refrigerator to chill.
- Prep the Tilapia:
- Pat the tilapia fillets dry with a paper towel. Season them lightly with salt and black pepper.
- In a shallow dish, combine the corn flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix with a fork to blend the seasonings.
- Coat the Fish:
- Dip each tilapia fillet into the seasoned corn flour mixture, ensuring they are well-coated on all sides.
- Fry the Fish:
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the coated tilapia fillets.
- Deep fry the fish for about 3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Toast the Buns:
- In a separate skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Place the brioche buns cut side down and toast until golden brown and crispy.
- Assemble the Sandwich:
- Spread a generous layer of green habanero salsa on the bottom half of each toasted brioche bun.
- Place a piece of fried tilapia on the salsa layer, followed by a heaping of the prepared coleslaw.
- Top with the other half of the brioche bun and press gently to hold everything together.
