fish essentials: comfy cod sammie

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.

    THE DRESSING
  • 4
    Cook the bacon in a sauté pan over medium heat, until crisp.

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

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

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

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

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

    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.
