Yum Cod Confit with Cornbread Recipe
Ingredients
Directions
Cod:
- In a bowl, mix the sweet paprika with olive oil.
- Pour this mixture over the cod steaks in a tray.
- Transfer the cod to a pot, cover with olive oil, and add the parsley and garlic.
- Cover the pot and cook over very low heat for one hour. (It is crucial to keep the heat low; otherwise, after 30 minutes, the cod, parsley, and garlic will look fried instead of gently confited.)
Cornbread crumbs:
- Crumble the cornbread into a bowl.
- Add the drained black-eyed peas and a bit of collard greens.
- Mix everything well and drizzle with some of the olive oil used for the cod.
- Stir again, and serve on the side with the cod.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can substitute cod with other firm white fish such as haddock, halibut, or even salmon. Just adjust the cooking time slightly as different fish have varying cooking rates.
Store leftover cod confit in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it will last up to 3 days. The cornbread crumbs can be stored separately for up to 2 days in a sealed container. Reheat the cod gently to retain its texture before serving.
If your cod appears fried, it likely means the heat was too high while cooking. In the future, ensure that you maintain a very low heat to achieve the gentle confit process. For this time, you can still enjoy the cod, but it may have a firmer texture.
