INGREDIENTS

  • Seafood

    • 1 pound salted cod fish

  • Vegetables

    • 🥔 2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
    • ½ cup chopped fresh parsley
    • 🧅 1 large onion, finely chopped

  • Seasoning

    • 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning
    • ground black pepper to taste

  • Eggs and Dairy

    • 🥚 2 eggs, beaten

  • Dry Ingredients

    • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • Cooking Essentials

    • ¼ cup olive oil for frying

STEPS

1

Place salt cod into a bowl and cover with cold water. Refrigerate for 8 hours; pour off water and replace it with fresh water every 2 hours.

2

After soaking cod for 8 hours, rinse in cold water and cut into 3-inch portions.

3

Place cod and potatoes into a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until potatoes are tender and cod flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to cool for 10 minutes.

4

Place potatoes and cod into a mixing bowl. Season with seafood seasoning, pepper, and parsley; roughly mash with a potato masher. Stir in eggs and onion until evenly combined; there should still be pieces of cod and potato in mixture.

5

Place flour into a shallow bowl. Form cod mixture into golf ball-sized pieces and roll in flour. Press between your palms to flatten slightly.

6

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook cod cakes in hot oil until golden and crispy on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
