Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Baccalà
Soak the baccalà in water for 24-48 hours, changing the water frequently to remove excess salt. Drain and cut into pieces.
Cook the Seafood
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook until slightly softened.
Add the Baccalà
Stir in the baccalà pieces and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Add the Shellfish
Add the mussels and clams, cover the pot, and cook for 5-7 minutes until they open up. Discard any that do not open.
Add Shrimp and Scallops
Add the shrimp and scallops to the pot, along with the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the shrimp are pink and the scallops are opaque.
Finish with Whitefish
Finally, add the whitefish and cook for another 5 minutes until flaky. Squeeze lemon juice over the entire dish and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Serve
Serve hot with crusty bread and a side of lemon wedges.
