Recipe Tips

When soaking the codfish, make sure to change the water at least once to remove excess salt. This will prevent your dish from becoming overly salty.
For a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of milk or cream to the potato mixture before baking. This enhances the overall mouthfeel and balances the flavors of the cod and onions.
Avoid overcooking the potatoes; they should be tender but not mushy. Opt for a fork test to check doneness, as overcooked potatoes can lead to a grainy texture in the final dish.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I substitute for codfish in this recipe?

You can substitute codfish with other firm white fish such as haddock, pollock, or tilapia. Just be aware that cooking times may vary slightly based on the thickness of the fish.

How should I store leftovers of Cod a Gomes de Sá?

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.

What should I do if my potatoes are too soft when boiled?

If your potatoes are too soft, they might break apart when added to the dish. To avoid this, try boiling them until just tender but not falling apart, about 10-15 minutes, depending on their size. You can also use waxy potatoes, which hold their shape better.
