“An excellent cod fish dish. You must soak the salted cod over night and change the water at least twice. This is an easy fish meal with my moms original ingredients.” - by John J. Pacheco

Ingredients

2 pounds salted cod fish
5 large potatoes, peeled and sliced
3 large onions, sliced
3/4 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Soak salted cod in cold water overnight or for a few hours. Drain water, repeat. Heat a large pot of water until boiling. Cook cod for 5 minutes; drain and cool, leaving cod in large pieces. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
In an 8x11 casserole dish, layer half the potato slices, all of the cod, and all of the onions. Top with remaining potato slices. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic, parsley, pepper flakes, paprika, and tomato sauce. Pour evenly over casserole.
Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.

"This is a very good recipe---we had friends from Norway who prepared this for us recently, and we loved it. However, the cooked it on the stove top at medium heat for about and hour, and I preferred ..." See morethis method as it made more of a fish stew than the casserole method listed here. We ladled it out on to thick slices of sourdough bread, and it was fabulous."
