Dill Sauce
- In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, chopped dill, lemon juice, dill pickle relish, grated garlic clove, salt and black pepper.

Cod Fish Sliders
- Preheat oven to 400 °F
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and then top it with a metal cooling rack.
- Separate the top slider buns from the bottom slider buns (without separating them into individual buns). Place them on one side of the metal rack insides facing down.
- Arrange the cod fish pieces on the other half of the baking sheet.
- Spray or lightly coat the buns and cod fish pieces with extra virgin olive oil.
- In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle both the top and bottom of the cod fish pieces with seasoning.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cod fish is fully cooked and an opaque white or beige color.NOTE: The thickest part of the fish fillet should read 125 to 145 degrees F with a digital thermometer. Or press the back of a fork on the thickest part of the fish fillet and it should flake apart.
- Construct the sliders: bottom buns, a scoop of dill sauce, lettuce, red onion, cod fish, and top buns. OPTIONAL: Insert a long skewer in the center of the sliders to hold it in place.
- Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
