1
Prepare Mahi Mahi
Rinse the mahi mahi fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides of each fillet with blackening seasoning, salt, and pepper.
2
Cook Mahi Mahi
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned mahi mahi fillets. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the fish is cooked through and has a blackened crust. Remove from heat and let rest for a couple of minutes.
3
Toast the Bread
While the fish rests, place the marbled rye slices on a separate skillet or griddle. Toast them over medium heat until they are golden brown on both sides.
4
Assemble the Sandwich
On the bottom slice of toasted marbled rye, layer a slice of Swiss cheese, the cooked mahi mahi fillet, a generous scoop of coleslaw mix, and a drizzle of Thousand Island dressing. Top with another slice of Swiss cheese and finish with the top slice of toasted marbled rye.
5
Serve
Cut the sandwich in half if desired, and serve immediately with extra coleslaw and Thousand Island dressing on the side.
