Ingredients for Hermit Sandwich

Method

Instructions for Preparing Hermit Sandwich

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cod

    Season the cod fillets with salt and pepper. In one bowl, add flour; in a second bowl, beat the eggs; and in a third bowl, mix cornmeal with a pinch of salt.

  2. 2

    Bread the Cod

    Dredge each cod fillet in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the cornmeal mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks.

  3. 3

    Fry the Cod

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded cod fillets. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and let drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Rolls

    Slice the french rolls in half and lightly toast them if desired.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On the bottom half of each roll, place a fried cod fillet. Top with lettuce, sliced tomato, and a generous scoop of slaw. Close the sandwich with the top half of the roll.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately while hot with extra slaw on the side if desired.
