Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Boil the potato slices in salted water until just tender. Drain and set aside.
- If your cod isn’t already desalted, soak it in cold water for about 24 hours, changing the water several times. Once ready, shred the cod into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large pan, heat the olive oil and sauté the onions, garlic, bell pepper, and tomato until soft and fragrant.
- Mix the shredded cod into the sautéed vegetables and stir well to combine.
- In a baking dish, layer the cooked potato slices and the cod mixture, alternating until everything is used.
- Drizzle with olive oil, tuck in the bay leaf, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle chopped parsley over the top.
- Add black olives if you’d like.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden.
- Remove from oven and serve hot.
This dish pairs wonderfully with a green salad and some crusty bread.
