Report
This Cod Reuben Sandwich is a fishy take on a classic deli-style Reuben! It's piled high with seared cod, sauerkraut, and a homemade yogurt-based Russian dressing.

Ingredients
Russian Yogurt Sauce:
- ½ cup whole milk plain yogurt
- 2 green onions, diced
- ⅛ cup diced red onion
- 1 tablespoon relish (dill or sweet)
- 1 tablespoon horseradish root, freshly grated (or sub prepared)
- 1 teaspoon tomato paste
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon paprika or smoked paprika
Cod:
- 2 cod fillets (~4oz each)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
Reuben:
- 4 slices rye bread Jewish rye preferred
- ½ cup Sauerkraut
- 2 slices Swiss cheese (optional), add more if desired
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
Prepare Toppings:
- Combine all ingredients for Russian dressing. Taste dressing, add more salt if it tastes bland, and/or more horseradish if you prefer it spicier. Set aside.
Cook Cod:
- Add oil to a heavy pan, such as cast iron, and heat on medium-high heat. Pat cod dry, and then dry it off again. Wet fish will stick to the pan.
- Set cod in hot pan, and DO NOT TOUCH IT. Set a timer for 4 minutes, and don't touch the cod until the timer goes off. (If your butter smokes a little, lower the heat slightly.)
- Next, use a thin metal spatula to flip the cod. If it sticks to the pan, wait another 30 seconds. The fish will release when it's done cooking. Cook for another 4 minutes, and remove from pan.
Grill Sandwiches:
- Lower the heat to medium.
- Prepare sandwiches by layering one slice of bread, a thick layer of the Russian sauce, sauerkraut, the cod, cheese, and another piece of bread. If the cod is too small for the bread, you can flake it apart with a fork and spread it across the bread.
- Add remaining butter to the pan, and grill sandwiches about 2 minutes per side, until each side is golden and the cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
