Wild Alaska Halibut Reuben Sandwich

A thick Alaska halibut reuben sandwich on toasted rye bread

  • Preparation Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients:

  • 4 x Wild Alaska Halibut Fillets (4 to 6 oz each)
  • 4 tsp ground Coriander
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste
  • 8 slices Rye Bread
  • 4 oz 1000 Island Dressing, prepared
  • 8 slices Swiss Cheese
  • 2 cups Sauerkraut, prepared, drained
  • 4 Tbsp Butter, softened

Directions:

Season each halibut fillet with 1 teaspoon of coriander, salt and pepper to taste, then using your preferred method of cooking, cook fish just until opaque throughout. Hold aside until needed.

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Lay out the 8 slices of bread and spread 1/2 oz of 1000 island dressing on each slice. Cut each piece of cheese on the bias, and place 2 of the cut slices on each piece of bread, covering as best you can.

Place one piece of fish on each of 4 pieces of bread. Top the fish with 1/2 cup of sauerkraut. Take the remaining 4 pieces of bread and close the sandwich, cheese down onto sauerkraut.

Heat a large oven-proof sauté pan. Butter top side of bread with 1/2 Tablespoon of softened butter, place butter side down into hot pan. Griddle until golden brown.

Butter exposed side of bread, carefully flip sandwich and place pan into oven.

Cook 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and sandwich is heated through. Remove, cut each sandwich on the bias and place on serving plates. Serve with sides of your choosing.
