How to Make Fish Sliders

Variations:
TRY A DIFFERENT SAUCE- Besides the homemade dill sauce you can also top these sliders with Chipotle Southwest Sauce, Sriracha Aioli, or even traditional tartar sauce.
ADD CHEESE- Some people love cheese on their fish sandwiches (I confess I am not one of those people). Sliced American cheese is a classic but you could put whatever you like on them.
TOP WITH COLESLAW- For something even more unique, try adding a fresh coleslaw in place of the lettuce and red onion.
USE OTHER SEASONING BLENDS- Old Bay, Cajun seasoning, lemon pepper, or cumin. Just make sure the seasoning is not too overwhelming, you still want to taste the fish.
SWAP THE COD FISH- This recipe doesn’t need to be with cod. You could swap it out for salmon, white fish, etc. Or you could use the cod but make it beer battered fish instead!
