Open Faced Fish Melt Sandwich Recipe

If you want a delicious sandwich, try this Open faced Fish melt recipe. We used fresh caught Crappie in this recipe, but you can make a Tilapia melt, Tuna melt or any white fish you prefer. It’s the best fish sandwich!

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Drizzle a little olive oil on both sides of each white fish fillet.  Then place them on a baking sheet and bake uncovered for about 25 minutes, or until they flake easily with a fork.  Remove from the oven and place the fish fillets in a bowl.  Then use a fork to flake each fillet apart.

Spread softened butter on both sides of the sliced bread, and toast them on a griddle until golden brown.  Then place them on a foil lined baking sheet.

Spoon the fish mixture evenly on each slice of the toasted bread, then top each with 2 slices of tomatoes, and cover with 2 slices of cheese.
