Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425°F. Wash and dry all produce. Toss @potatoes{2%medium} on a #baking sheet{} with a drizzle of @olive oil{1%tbsp}, @salt{1%tsp}, and @black pepper{½%tsp}. Roast until crispy ~{20%minutes}.

While potatoes roast, pat @tilapia{2%fillets} dry with paper towels. Season generously all over with @paprika{1%tsp}, additional salt, and black pepper.

Brush tilapia with @sour cream{½%cup}, then coat thoroughly in @panko breadcrumbs{½%cup}.

Heat a ¼-inch layer of @cooking oil{¼%cup} in a #large, heavy-bottomed pan{} over medium-high heat. Once oil is hot enough that a pinch of panko breadcrumbs sizzles when added, add coated tilapia. Depending on pan size, work in batches. Fry until golden and crispy ~{3%minutes} per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Slice @demi-baguette{1%unit} in half horizontally. Toast cut sides until lightly golden ~{2%minutes}.

Spread half the @smoky garlic herb sauce{3%tbsp} over bottom baguette halves. Fill with crispy tilapia, drizzle with remaining sauce, and top with as much @baby lettuce{2%cups} and diced @tomato{1%medium} as you like. Squeeze @lemon{1%unit} over top. Close to form sandwiches and serve with roasted potato wedges.
