3. Peel and thinly slice onion into half rounds. Set half of the onions aside on a plate. Add the other half to the bowl with the dressing and stir to combine.

4. Wash and dry the tomatoes, then halve and slice them. Place half of the tomatoes on the plate; transfer the other half to the salad bowl.
   • 4 tomatoes
5. Drain and thinly slice artichoke hearts; transfer to the salad bowl. Set aside while you prepare the fish.
   • 2 (6 oz) jars artichoke hearts, marinated
6. Whisk eggs in a medium bowl.
   • 2 eggs
7. Place bread crumbs in a second medium bowl.
   • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
8. Pat the fish dry with paper towels and place on a plate or other flat surface. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
   • 1 ½ lb tilapia fillet
   • ½ tsp salt
   • ½ tsp black pepper
9. Sprinkle flour over both sides of each fillet. Press gently to adhere.
   • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
10. Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
11. To bread the fish, dip each fillet into the egg, and then the bread crumbs. Press gently to adhere.
12. Once the skillet is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Working in batches if necessary, add fish to the skillet in a single layer and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Once done, transfer to a clean plate lined with paper towel.
    • 4 tsp extra virgin olive oil
13. Meanwhile, toast the rolls.
    • 4 whole grain buns or rolls
14. Wash and dry the lettuce; separate the leaves. Set aside 2 large leaves per sandwich. Chop or tear remaining leaves into bite-sized pieces, add to the salad bowl and toss to combine.

15. Place the bottom half of a roll on each plate. Layer with tartar sauce, lettuce, tomato, onion, and a crispy fish fillet; close with top half of the roll. Serve salad on the side and enjoy!
