What Is Salt Cod?

Salt cod is cod that has been preserved by salting and drying, a technique used for centuries to extend shelf life and intensify flavor. Once soaked and rehydrated, salt cod becomes tender, flaky, and rich—ideal for baking, stewing, or pan-frying.

Ingredients

  • 500g salt cod, soaked and desalted

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 medium potatoes, thinly sliced

  • 1 teaspoon paprika (sweet or smoked)

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 bay leaf

  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes or crushed tomatoes

  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Optional additions: olives, capers, bell peppers, or fresh thyme

How to Desalt Salt Cod

  1. Rinse salt cod under cold running water.

  2. Place it in a large bowl of cold water.

  3. Soak for 24–48 hours, changing the water every 6–8 hours.

  4. Taste a small piece—when pleasantly seasoned (not salty), it’s ready to use.

Tip: Thicker pieces require longer soaking.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare

  1. Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F).

  2. Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.

Step 2: Build the Base

  1. Arrange sliced potatoes in an even layer at the bottom of the dish.

  2. Scatter onions, garlic, bay leaf, tomatoes, paprika, and black pepper over the potatoes.

  3. Drizzle with half of the olive oil.

Step 3: Add the Salt Cod

  1. Place the desalted cod pieces on top of the vegetable layer.

  2. Drizzle with remaining olive oil.

Step 4: Bake

  1. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 30 minutes.

  2. Remove foil and bake an additional 15–20 minutes, until the fish flakes easily and the potatoes are tender.

Step 5: Serve

  1. Remove bay leaf.

  2. Garnish with fresh parsley.

  3. Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side.

Tips for Perfect Baked Salt Cod

  • Don’t skip soaking: Proper desalting is essential for balanced flavor.

  • Use good olive oil: It enhances the richness of the fish.

  • Layer wisely: Potatoes absorb the flavorful juices and become incredibly tender.

  • Avoid overbaking: Salt cod becomes dry if cooked too long uncovered.

Why This Recipe Works

  • Authentic & Traditional: Honors classic salt cod preparation methods.

  • Healthy & Satisfying: High in protein, naturally low in fat.

  • Deeply Flavorful: Slow baking allows flavors to meld beautifully.

  • Versatile: Easily adapted with regional spices and vegetables.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve with crusty bread to soak up the olive oil and juices.

  • Pair with a green salad or steamed greens like kale or spinach.

  • Complements crisp white wines such as Vinho Verde or Sauvignon Blanc.

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 large carrot, diced

  • 1 celery stalk, diced

  • 1 can (400g) crushed tomatoes

  • 2 cups fish stock or water

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

  2. Add onions, garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté until softened and fragrant, about 5–6 minutes.

  3. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, fish stock, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and sugar if using.

Why This Recipe Works

  • Healthy & Light: Cod is a lean source of protein, and the tomato broth is low in calories but rich in flavor.

Bring to a boil and whisk to blend the ingredients. 
Add the potatoes, cover, return to a boil and then reduce to a simmer until the potatoes are almost done. Uncover during part of the cooking to reduce and intensify the liquid. 
Add the fish, cover, and adjust the heat to a very gentle simmer. 
The poaching liquid should be between 160-185 degrees.
 Cook until the fish reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees. 
Add the fresh basil and parsley when finished and serve.
