Salmon Reuben Sandwich

I love the flavor combination that is a Reuben: sauerkraut, Thousand Island dressing, Swiss cheese and rye bread. But I am not a big fan of corned beef. So while watching a friend devour a Reuben the other evening I thought, “I wonder what this would be like with salmon?” Well, I tried it and was very pleased with the result. It was a toss-up whether to use the traditional rye or pumpernickel and since this was an excuse to buy breads that I seldom buy I tried it with both. Personally, I liked the pumpernickel best.

  7. Divide the sauerkraut and spread on top of the Swiss cheese.
