1. For the sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, cornichons, capers, and lemon juice.
2. For the sandwich: Sprinkle cod with salt. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add cod and cook until golden on the outside and opaque on the inside, 4-5 minutes per side. Place lettuce and cod on buns, if using, dollop each with 1 tablespoon tartar sauce, and serve.

Note: This recipe appears in the South Beach Diet Taste of Summer Cookbook. This sandwich is a yummy way to enjoy the warm weather in your area. This version of tartar sauce is good for you because you know what's in it. The tartar sauce is so good you'll make it again and again. If you're on Phase 1, skip the bun and substitute sautéed green beans in place of the lettuce and your meal will be just as delicious. When you're on Phase 2, you can use a whole wheat bun or serve cole slaw or oven baked fries as a side dish and you'll be fully satisfied. I highly recommend using Lemon Infused Olive Oil from the Imperial Olive to give your cod a more lemony taste. for more information, visit www.The ImperialOlive.com.
