Ingredients

Sweet Coleslaw

14 ounces Coleslaw in a bag
1/3 cup Mayonnaise
3 tablespoons Sugar
2 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar

Blackened Seasoning

2 tablespoons Ground Black Pepper
2 tablespoons Salt
1 tablespoons Onion Powder
1 tablespoon Garlic Salt
1 tablespoons Paprika
2 teaspoons Oregano
2 teaspoons Parsley
1 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper

Cod Sandwich

4 Cod Fillets
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Butter
4 Sesame Seed Hamburger Buns

Instructions

Prepare the Sweet Coleslaw

In a small bowl whisk the mayonnaise, sugar, and apple cider vinegar together until well combined.
Place the coleslaw mix into a large bowl and pour the mayonnaise mixture on top. Toss until fully coated and set aside.

Make Blackened Seasoning

In a small bowl stir together all the spices in the blackened seasoning until even.

Cook Fish

Cover each side of the fish in olive oil and then using 2 tablespoons of the blackened seasoning generously spread it on each side of the fish.
Heat a heavy-bottomed or iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the cod on each side for 4 minutes (flip it only once).

Arrange the Sandwich

As the fish is cooking set the oven to BROIL and cover each half of the buns with butter and toast in the oven until lightly golden in color.
Layer the cooked fish fillet on the bottom of each bun and top with a little less than 1/4 cup of the sweet coleslaw. Cover with the bun top.

Notes

Make sure you have proper ventilation when cooking the fish. The spices will cause it to smoke slightly.
