Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Cod
Soak the desalted cod fillets in cold water for at least 24 hours, changing the water several times. This will help to remove excess salt.
Cook the Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and bell pepper, and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Add Garlic and Seasoning
Stir in the minced garlic and paprika, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Cook the Cod
Add the soaked cod fillets to the skillet. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning gently, until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily.
Finish with Parsley
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve
Serve warm with batata frita (French fries) on the side for a comforting meal.
