Cup of Yum
Prepare Ingredients:
- 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.Get the bread, cheese, and sauerkraut ready.
Grill the Sandwiches:
- Prepare sandwiches by layering one slice of bread, a thick layer of the Russian sauce, sauerkraut, the grouper, cheese, and another piece of bread. You'll likely have extra dressing. Refrigerate leftover dressing and use it within a week.If the grouper is too small for the bread, you can flake it apart with a fork and spread it across the bread.
- Add butter to pan and melt over medium heat. Grill sandwiches about 2 minutes per side, until each side is golden and the cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Can't find grouper? Swap another dense white fish (like cod or halibut).
