JALAPEñO GARLIC TILAPIA PANINI

This is my own personal copycat recipe mimicking Johnny Carino's sandwich. Their menu description is "Fried fillet of tilapia with a garlic-jalapeño cream sauce, provolone cheese and sliced roma tomatoes." I think that I have accomplished this by using ideas from CoffeeMom's Super Easy Ritz Cracker Breading (recipe #98000) and ketchup's Garlic Cream Sauce (recipe #85676). (Thanks, guys!) We love this sandwich.
