GOOD TO KNOW A favorite sandwich, redux: Instead of battering and deep-frying, fish fillets are cooked on the grill, with a mere brush of oil. Top with a tangy slaw and serve on toasted bread, and you won’t miss the original in the least.

Yield
serves 4

Ingredients

4 cups shredded green cabbage (from 1/4 head)

Coarse salt and ground pepper

1 celery stalk, thinly sliced

1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced

3 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar

1/4 teaspoon caraway seed

Vegetable oil, for grilling

4 striped bass fillets or other firm-fleshed fish, such as tilapia or flounder (4 to 6 ounces each)

8 thick slices sandwich bread, such as brioche or country-style white

Preparation

Step 1
Heat grill to medium-high. In a medium bowl, toss cabbage with 2 teaspoons salt; let stand 20 minutes, then press between layers of paper towels to remove excess liquid.
Step 2
In a clean bowl, toss cabbage with celery, onion, mayonnaise, vinegar, and caraway seed, and season with pepper.
Step 3
Clean and lightly oil hot grates. Pat fish dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper, and brush with oil. Grill fish until opaque around the edges and underside releases easily from grill, 2 to 4 minutes. Using a thin metal spatula, flip fish and cook until opaque throughout, 1 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4
Grill bread until lightly toasted, 5 to 10 seconds per side. Assemble sandwiches with fish and cabbage slaw.
