Spicy Swai Po' Boy Sandwich

Here is another tasty way to use Swai Fish Filets in a spicy Po'Boy-Style sandwich.  Swai has become a favorite at seafood markets because it is so reasonably priced and has a mild sweet flavor similar to regular catfish.

The sauce used on the fish is quite versatile and can be used on shrimp or even chicken for a delicious zingy flavor.  As a finishing touch, a squeeze of fresh lime or lemon tops this sandwich off nicely.

1 lb  Swai Fillets, cut into 1-inch to 1 1/2-inch pieces
2  Cloves Garlic, minced
3 TB  Olive Oil
1 - 2 tsp  Sriracha (to taste)
1 tsp  Balsamic Vinegar
1 TB  Fresh Finely Chopped Basil
1 tsp  Paprika
1/4 tsp  Kosher Salt
1/2 tsp  Black Pepper
Leaf Lettuce
Hoagie Rolls, Sliced lengthwise and hollowed out in the center

In a medium glass bowl, toss all ingredients until fish is evenly coated.  Let marinate for 20-30 minutes at room temperature.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot.  Carefully pour the marinated fish mixture into the hot skillet.  Arrange fish into a single layer and let saute about 3 minutes before turning and cook 2-3 minutes longer.  Remove skillet from heat and prepare sandwiches immediately by placing a piece of leaf lettuce on a hoagie roll and then filling the center with the fish.  Enjoy!!
