1. Drain tomato slices on a rack over paper towels; sprinkle with 1 tsp salt. Let sit to remove excess moisture, about 15 minutes.

4. Mix sweet pickle relish, mayonnaise, and hot sauce in a bowl. Set aside your remoulade sauce.
5. Heat oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat until melted and sizzling. Add tomatoes; fry until golden brown and soft, flipping with a spatula and fork, 3-4 minutes per side.
6. Move fried green tomatoes to a platter; serve with remoulade sauce for dipping.
