I have been craving a fish sandwich for a long time. But, I did not want the typical “fried” fish variety, but something more akin to a po’ boy. This is not exactly what I would call a “po’ boy,” but it is fairly close. For one, there are no Cajun spices, and I am using cod; as opposed to a more traditional shrimp. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make fish essentials: comfy cod sammie

Step 1

PREP/PREPARE

Step 2

Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
Step 3

THE DRESSING
Step 4

Cook the bacon in a sauté pan over medium heat, until crisp.
Step 5

Remove the bacon, and chop. Leave the bacon grease in the pan. We will need that later.
Step 6

Combine all the ingredients (including the bacon) for the dressing together in a bowl, and then salt and pepper, to taste.
Step 7

THE COD
Step 8

Take the sauté pan with the bacon grease, and place over medium-low heat.
Step 9

Sprinkle the cod with some salt and pepper, and add to the pan.
Step 10

Sauté, turning occasionally, until the cod is cooked through, and begins to flake.
Step 11

Allow the cod to cool to room temperature, flake, and gently toss with the dressing.
Step 12

Add some lettuce to the bottom of a toasted bun.
Step 13

Add some fresh tomatoes.
Step 14

Add the cod mix.
Step 15

PLATE/PRESENT
Step 16

My favorite way to serve this is on a butter-toasted brioche roll, with some freshly-sliced tomatoes, tipped with a bit of parmesan cheese, and chips on the side. Enjoy.
Step 17

Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
