New York Buffalo Cod Sandwich with Blue Cheese Slaw 

By: Zachary Neman / @cheffinwithzach

 

 

Ingredients

For the Crispy Buffalo Cod: 

  • 4 cod filets
  • ½ cup rice flour 
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour 
  • 1¼ teaspoon baking powder 
  • 1 cup cold beer 
  • Handful of ice cubes
  • 2 tablespoon paprika 
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder 
  • ½ teaspoon salt plus additional for seasoning fish to taste 
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper 
  • Oil for frying  
  • 4 brioche buns 
  • Sliced dill pickles 

For the Buffalo Sauce: 

  • ⅔ cup hot sauce 
  • ½ cup cubed, cold, unsalted butter 
  • ¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey

For the Blue Cheese Slaw: 

  • ½ cup sour cream 
  • ½ cup buttermilk 
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise 
  • ½ cup Treasure Cave® Crumbled Blue Cheese
  • 2 garlic cloves, grated 
  • Juice and zest of a lemon 
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt 
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper 
  • 3 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced 
  • 1 cup thinly sliced red onions 
  • 1 cup dill, finely chopped 
  • 1 cup parsley, finely chopped 

Directions

 
  1. In a small mixing bowl, thoroughly combine sour cream, buttermilk, mayonnaise, Treasure Cave Crumbled Blue Cheese, lemon juice, grated garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Taste and adjust salt and/or lemon juice if needed. 
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss cabbage, red onion, dill, and parsley. Dress with desired amounts of blue cheese dressing, reserving the rest. Set the blue cheese slaw in the fridge. 
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine hot sauce, honey and Worcestershire sauce. Once it begins to simmer, turn off the heat and stir in the cold butter. Set buffalo sauce mixture aside. 
  4. Season cod filets with salt to taste. Dust with a light coating of flour, shaking off any excess. 
  5. Preheat fry oil to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a wire rack. If you do not have a wire rack, line with a paper towel. 
  6. Combine rice flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, beer, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder and ice cubes (keeping the batter cold achieves a crispier result). Stir just until thoroughly combined. Over-mixing will lead to gluten development, which will give us a soggy result. 
  7. Dunk the fish in the batter, letting the excess drip off. Carefully drop fish into frying oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove fish with a slotted spoon and place on wire rack. 
  8. Reheat the buffalo sauce for a few minutes. Coat the fish with the buffalo sauce. 
  9. Toast brioche with butter over medium heat until golden.  
  10. On the bottom bun, spread a layer of the sauce, followed by sliced dill pickles. Lay down a piece of fish, then desired amounts of slaw. Add top bun and serve immediately.
