Smoked cod - Costco impulse purchase - SO dry that the only options were a spreadable salad, chopped fine with plenty of time in the frig to soak up some moisture, or as a topper for soft cheese. The spicy barbecue flavor needed sweetness and tartness to round it out, hence the pureed baked beans and lime. I happened to have "sweet bean dip" portioned out in snack size baggies the freezer. Just a can of Bush's baked beans, pureed, kept on hand for late night snacks. This was my lunch today. I was surprised! Yummy! Rye bread - a must for this sandwich as the flavor pairs just right.
