Instructions

to fry:

  • Pat the thawed cod with a paper towel to ensure it's dry, then set up an assembly line: pour the flour into a shallow bowl, the egg and water into a separate bowl and the breadcrumbs and spices into a third bowl.
  • Dip each cod fillet into the flour, then into the egg mixture, shaking off any excess before dipping into the breadcrumbs, placing each fillet onto a plate.
  • Pour the oil into a small saucepan then heat it over medium-high heat. Add the cod (1 or 2 at a time) to the oil and fry it for 2 minutes per side; transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and continue frying all of the fillets.
  • Next, make the coleslaw: stir the coleslaw mix, mayo, vinegar, and sugar together. In a separate bowl, stir the yogurt and hot sauce together.
  • Assemble the sandwiches: Place the cod on the bottom burger bun, then top it with a spoonful of coleslaw. Spread the spicy yogurt onto the top bun, then place it on top. Enjoy!

to bake:

  • Line a baking sheet with foil, then place an oven-safe wire rack on top and spray it generously with nonstick spray. Follow all of the above steps, but instead of frying in oil, place the breaded cod onto the wire rack. Bake it at 425° for 15-20 minutes. Enjoy!

Notes

*Calories are per sandwich and are an estimation 
*Frying the cod will result in the crispiest sandwich, but if you want it to be healthier, you can bake it instead (see instructions for both methods)
