For the sandwiches
- 1 (10-ounce) package Sea Cuisine Potato Crusted Cod
- Herb Aioli
- 2 slices rye bread
- Lettuce or other greens
- Richter advises putting the package of frozen fish in the refrigerator overnight, so it thaws. This way it will bake faster in the oven. Bake the fish per package directions (about 15 minutes if it has been thawed as he advises).
- While the fish is baking, make the Herb Aioli, as directed in recipe above.
- Toast the bread. He does it under the broiler because that way one side of the bread can get toasted, while the other side remains soft. The toasted side goes on the outside; the soft side is for the interior of the sandwich.
- Make sandwich: On toasted bread, spread Herb Aioli, place baked fish, and top with lettuce. Put the lid on the sandwich, cut and enjoy!
