Fish and Marinade

Sandwich Assembly

Potato Chips

Method

Fish Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Fish

    In a bowl, mix together olive oil, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Coat the redfish fillets thoroughly with the marinade and let sit for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Fish

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated redfish fillets and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until blackened and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 3

    Toast the Bread

    In a pan or griddle, toast the sourdough bread slices until golden brown on one side.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On the un-toasted side of 4 slices of sourdough, spread a generous amount of Thousand Island dressing. Layer the sauerkraut on top, followed by a slice of Swiss cheese and the cooked blackened redfish. Top with another slice of Swiss cheese and finally, cover with the remaining slices of sourdough.

  3. 5

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat the skillet over medium heat. Grill the sandwiches on both sides, pressing down slightly, until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Potato Chips Preparation

  1. 6

    Slice the Potatoes

    Wash and thinly slice the russet potatoes using a mandoline or sharp knife. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

  2. 7

    Fry the Chips

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the potato slices in batches, frying until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Season with salt immediately.
