Blackened Fish Sandwiches With Spicy Corn Cabbage Slaw Recipes

BLACKENED FISH SANDWICHES WITH SPICY CORN + CABBAGE SLAW

Steps:

• Whisk together mayonnaise, lime juice, cilantro and salt. Taste and add more salt if needed. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the dressing to spread on the buns.
• Combine cabbage, corn, red onion in jalapeño in a large bowl. Add remaining dressing and toss thoroughly to combine.
• Stir together chili powder, brown sugar, salt and cayenne. Rub evenly into both sides of fish.
• Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for several minutes until very hot, then add oil. When oil is shimmering hot, slide in fish and cook until slightly charred and just cooked through, flipping once. Use a fork to gently check the center - it's done when flakey and opaque. This only took 1 minute on each side for my thin haddock filets, so watch closely. Transfer fish to a plate and break into large chunks with a fork.
• Spread reserved dressing on the four buns (about 1/2 tbsp each). Top with fish and lots of slaw. Serve lime wedges and extra slaw on the side.

GRILLED BLACKENED FISH SANDWICHES WITH HOMEMADE SLAW

Steps:

• Combine coleslaw mix, onion, vinegar, oil, mustard, sugar, celery seed, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Stir until evenly combined. Set aside.
• Lay cod fillets on a clean work surface. Sprinkle 1/2 of the blackening seasoning and 1/2 of the paprika over the fillets. Flip fillets over and sprinkle with remaining blackening seasoning and paprika. Brush olive oil over both sides of the fillets.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Grill fish for 3 minutes. Flip and grill for 3 minutes more.
• Cut fillets in half and place each half on a hamburger bun. Top with reserved slaw.

BLACKENED CHICKEN SANDWICH WITH CAJUN SLAW

Steps:

• Mix the dry rub ingredients together.
• To make the slaw: Put the cabbage, bell pepper and onion in a bowl. Whisk the remaining ingredients together, pour over the veggies and toss to coat. Add a little of the dressing at a time until you get the consistency wanted. Can make ahead and refrigerate it for 2-3 hours before eating.
• Preheat a grill with a cast iron skillet or griddle plate to 450 degrees. (May, also, be cooked in cast iron using a burner.).
• Brush buns lightly with butter and toast until browned, about 15-30 seconds; set aside.
• Drizzle just enough of the melted butter (about 1 tablespoon) over the chicken breasts to lightly coat. Season with 1/2 of the dry rub. It should be pretty thick to form a 'crust'.
• Ladle a few tablespoons of the butter onto the hot griddle and place the cutlets onto the griddle seasoned side down. (Note: The butter may smoke a LOT. That's why it's cooked outside, just don't spill butter on the flames or it will flame up.) Cook until the edges of the cutlets start to turn white, about 3-5 minutes.
• Ladle the remaining butter over the chicken and season with the remaining dry rub. Flip and cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 155-160 degrees, about 3-5 minutes.
• Remove chicken and serve on toasted buns with the slaw.
