Tilapia Reuben Sandwich Recipes

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!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place a heavy-duty baking pan sprayed with nonstick spray in the oven to heat.
• Mix together the melted butter, Dijon and dill in a pie plate. In another pie plate, combine the panko, cayenne and some salt and pepper. Dredge the fish through the melted butter mixture and then through the panko. Place on the hot sheet trays in the oven and bake until cooked through and lightly golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Assemble the sandwich by slathering the toasted split roll with Tartar Sauce, topping with the breaded fish fillet and adding the tomato slices and shredded lettuce.
• Mix the mayonnaise, relish, dill, mustard and hot sauce together in a small bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour before serving.

Steps:

• Stir together the mayonnaise, onion, tomato, relish, and piri piri in a small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and set aside.
• Season the tilapia fillets on both sides with the seafood seasoning and garlic powder. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the tilapia fillets until they are golden brown on both sides and no longer translucent in the center, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Place two slices of pepperjack cheese on top of each fillet, cover the skillet, and cook until the cheese has melted.
• Place each tilapia fillet onto a slice of toasted bread, spread with the reserved sauce, then top with the remaining slices of bread.

Steps:

• Make the Russian Dressing (recipe follows).
• If the bread is not fresh. put the bread slices in a steamer until they soften.
• On a board, lay down one slice of bread. Top with half of the corned beef and a small layer of cheese. Remove the layers of beef and cheese from the bread and put them in a steamer.
