Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6 oz each) Cod fillets
- 4 slices Rye bread
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 0.25 cup Thousand Island dressing
- 0.5 cup Coleslaw
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
Season the cod fillets with sea salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Let the fish sit for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned cod and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the cod from the pan and set it aside.
Butter one side of each rye bread slice. Place two slices, buttered side down, in a separate skillet over medium heat.
Spread 1 tablespoon of Thousand Island dressing on the unbuttered side of each bread slice in the pan. Add a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each piece of bread.
Break the cooked cod fillets into smaller pieces and place them evenly on top of the cheese. Add 1/4 cup of coleslaw on top of the fish, then layer another slice of Swiss cheese on each sandwich.
Spread 1 tablespoon of Thousand Island dressing on the unbuttered side of the remaining slices of bread. Place them on top of the sandwich (dressing side facing inward) and press down gently.
Cook the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Use a spatula to carefully flip the sandwiches.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice them in half, and serve immediately for a delicious, coastal-inspired meal.
