The image shows five sesame seed buns lined up closely on a wooden cutting board. Each bun is sliced in half horizontally and contains a golden-brown, crispy layer of cooked fish fillet, which fills most of the bun’s length. The buns have a soft, slightly shiny texture with scattered white sesame seeds on the top halves. The fish fillets have a crusty, uneven brown surface with some lighter, fluffy inside visible around the edges. The wooden cutting board has natural grain patterns and rests on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

12 BBQ bread (white finger rolls or Texas toast)
8 tablespoons salted butter (softened)
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon garlic salt

Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, use a fork to combine the softened butter, garlic powder, and garlic salt until creamy and well blended.
Step 2: Butter both sides of each piece of bread generously and set aside.
Step 3: Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Place a few pieces of the buttered bread in the skillet without overcrowding.
Step 4: Cook the bread for 1 to 2 minutes until the bottom is lightly toasted, then flip and toast the other side for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 5: Remove the toasted bread from the skillet and serve warm alongside your favorite dishes.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add a pinch of dried parsley or Italian seasoning to the butter mixture.
If you prefer a crispier texture, toast the bread a little longer but watch carefully to avoid burning.
Try using garlic-infused olive oil instead of butter for a different twist.

Storage

Store any leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day. To reheat, quickly toast the bread in a skillet or oven to restore its texture and warmth.

How to Serve

The sandwich is thick, showing a crisp, browned texture with a soft inside. In the blurred background, there are golden crinkle-cut fries and more sandwich slices resting on parchment paper on a white marbled surface. The sauce slightly overflows the bowl’s edge, creating a smooth and rich look. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular sandwich bread instead of Texas toast?

Yes, regular sandwich bread can be used, but Texas toast or thick white rolls work best to replicate the original texture and flavor.

Can I make the garlic butter ahead of time?

Absolutely. You can prepare the garlic butter mixture in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring it to room temperature before spreading on the bread.

Ingredients

12 slices BBQ bread (white finger rolls or Texas toast)
8 Tablespoons salted butter, softened
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon garlic salt

Instructions

Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, use a fork to combine the softened salted butter, garlic powder, and garlic salt until the mixture is creamy and evenly blended.
Butter the Bread: Spread the prepared garlic butter evenly on both sides of each slice of bread. Set the buttered bread aside temporarily.
Preheat Skillet: Place a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat and allow it to warm up gently to avoid burning the butter during cooking.
Toast the Bread: Place a few buttered bread slices into the skillet, ensuring they lay flat. Toast for about 1 to 2 minutes until the underside develops a light golden-brown crust.
Flip and Toast Second Side: Carefully flip the bread slices and toast the other side for another 1 to 2 minutes until the bread is lightly toasted and crispy but still soft inside.
Serve Warm: Remove the toasted bread from the skillet and serve immediately while warm to enjoy the full buttery garlic flavor.

Notes

Use softened butter for easy mixing and even spreading.
Adjust garlic powder and salt to taste if you prefer a stronger or milder garlic flavor.
Cook over medium-low heat to prevent the garlic butter from burning.
Serve as a side to chicken fingers, salads, or soups for a delicious meal addition.
For best results, use fresh white finger rolls or Texas toast to replicate the original Raising Cane’s bread texture.
