Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cod Fillet

    Rinse the cod fillet under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Cook the Cod Fillet

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of oil. Once hot, place the cod fillet in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Toast the Bun

    While the cod is cooking, lightly toast the hot dog bun in the same skillet until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.

  2. 4

    Build the C-Dog

    Spread 1 tablespoon of tartar sauce on the bottom half of the toasted bun. Place the cooked cod fillet on top of the sauce.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese and Vegetables

    Layer the American cheese slice over the cod fillet. Then, add the lettuce leaf, followed by the tomato slices and banana pepper slices.

  4. 6

    Finish and Serve

    Spread another tablespoon of tartar sauce on the top half of the bun and place it on top of the assembled ingredients. Serve immediately.
