Blacken the fish in the skillet, flipping it to cook all sides until nicely blackened.

Optionally, set the oven to 350°F and finish cooking the fish for 6-7 minutes after flipping it once.

Place Swiss cheese on top of the blackened mahi-mahi after cooking.

Butter one side of each slice of swirled rye bread and toast in a separate pan until golden brown.

Assemble the sandwich by spreading thousand island dressing on one slice of toasted bread.

Layer the blackened mahi-mahi with Swiss cheese on the dressing-covered bread.

Add the slaw on top of the fish and cheese, piling it high.

Top with another slice of toasted rye bread and serve with pickles on the side.
