Sandwich Components

Method

Chipotle Mayo Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Chipotle Mayo

    In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, chipotle peppers, lime juice, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

Cod Cheek Preparation

  1. 2

    Prepare the Cod Cheeks

    Rinse the cod cheeks under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. 3

    Coat the Cod Cheeks

    Set up a breading station with one bowl of flour, one bowl of beaten eggs, and one bowl of cornmeal. Dredge each cod cheek first in flour, then dip in egg, and finally coat with cornmeal.

Cooking the Sandwich

  1. 4

    Fry the Cod Cheeks

    In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded cod cheeks and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    To assemble, spread a generous amount of chipotle mayo on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with shredded cabbage, fried cod cheeks, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
