Recipe Tips

•

When soaking the cod loins, make sure to change the water at least once to reduce the saltiness more effectively. This will help ensure that the cod remains flavorful without being overly salty.

•

For an added layer of flavor, consider sautéing the onions and garlic in half of the olive oil until they are caramelized before adding them to the dish. This will enhance the sweetness of the onions and the aroma of the garlic.

•

Avoid overcooking the cod. Cook it just until it flakes easily with a fork, usually around 10-15 minutes after adding it to the pan. Overcooked cod can become tough and dry, ruining the dish's texture.
