Skippers Grouper Reuben Sandwich Recipes

RED SNAPPER OPEN-FACED SANDWICHES

Steps:

• For the sauce: Place the yogurt, parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, cumin, pepper and salt in a food processor. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula as needed, about 30 seconds. Set aside
• For the fish: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. In a shallow bowl, combine the flour with the coriander and salt. Dredge each fillet in the seasoned flour and coat well. Shake off excess flour, then add the fillets to the hot pan. Cook on the first side for 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked most of the way through. Carefully flip, and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes.
• To assemble: Brush the bread slices with the olive oil and toast on a grill or grill pan over high heat for 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
• Spread each slice with a few tablespoons of the sauce and place a fish fillet on top. Add another dollop of sauce and scatter over some arugula and cherry tomatoes. Add a squeeze of lemon, season with salt and serve.

TILAPIA REUBEN SANDWICH

Steps:

• Kraut -- Lets get the sauerkraut layer started. Add 1 teaspoon of the butter to a small saute pan and melt on medium high. Add the onions and caraway and cook until soft and slightly golden brown, Maybe 4-5 minutes. Add the sauerkraut (drained) and let simmer on medium low until every thing is combined and some of the liquid reduces.
• Fish -- First the fish should be taken out of the fridge so they are close to room temperature Then in a pie pan or small dish add the flour, cayenne, salt and pepper. Dip the fish in the flour mixture and coat both sides, just to get a light coating. This is not a heavy crust, just a light crust is all.
• Saute -- In a large saute pan, add 1 tablespoon of the butter and bring to medium high heat. Saute the fish until golden brown on each side. They will only take 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and let cool for just a minute or two.
• Use a fork and lightly break up the fish, not flaked like canned tuna, just break it up lightly so it isn't "one whole piece" on the sandwich.
• Sandwich -- Now build the sandwich, 1 slice of bread topped with thousand island dressing (go easy on the dressing), cheese, fish, then top with a couple of spoons of the sauerkraut and onions. Next, a slice of cheese and bread with thousand island spread on the inside, then repeat. Topped with more thousand island (again go easy), cheese, fish, sauerkraut, cheese and the final bread for the top.
• Remember this is a double decker sandwich so don't make the layers too thick.
• Grill -- In a saute pan or grill pan. Spread the outside top and bottom with a light "smear" of butter and grill on medium to medium low to toast the outside and get nice and golden brown. As they grill I like to cover so the cheese melts. Use a large lid or just a piece of foil will work fine, just don't grill on high, let it go slowly. Cut these in half and serve 1/2 per person they are big and delish!
