Cover the pot with a lid and let it warm for an additional 3 minutes.

After 8 minutes, stir the ackee and saltfish mixture, flipping it in the pot.

Turn off the stove once warmed through.

Take a scoop of the warmed ackee and saltfish mixture and lay it on a slice of bread.

Drain off excess oil to avoid a moist sandwich.

Serve the sandwich plain without lettuce or other toppings.
