GRILLED BLACKENED FISH SANDWICHES WITH HOMEMADE SLAW

Steps:

• 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

Steps:

• Mix up the Blackening Rub, and set it aside.
• In most cases, Chicken Breasts are really too thick for a sandwich. So, slice them in half using a filet knife being careful not to cut yourself.
• Oil the halved chicken, then coat with the rub. Work it in real well so that all parts of the chicken are coated.
• Set a pan to med / high, and add the butter and oil when it gets hot.
• When the butter has melted, and just barely beginning to smoke, add the chicken. Cook about 7 minutes on the first side, then turn it over and cook the other side. When done, set on paper towels for the grease to drain off.
• Ron's Note:.
• Don't turn the pan to too hot a temperature because all you'll do is burn the outside, and have raw meat in the middle. That's why I cook this chicken at a med / high temperature If you notice that it's beginning to burn, turn the heat down a little to insure that the inside gets done.
• I used Ciabatta Bread, sliced into a 3" piece, then halved with some of the insides removed.
• Lay on some lettuce, then the tomato, and finally set the Blackened Chicken on top. The lettuce on the bottom will keep any juices from soaking into the bread.
• Add the Chipotle Remoulade, top it, and you're ready to serve.

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.
