Portuguese Cod Fish Casserole

Ingredients

• 2 pounds salted cod fish
• 5 large potatoes, peeled and sliced
• 3 large onions, sliced
• 3/4 cup olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 3 tablespoons tomato sauce

Directions

Soak salted cod in cold water overnight or for a few hours. Drain water, repeat. Heat a large pot of water until boiling. Cook cod for 5 minutes; drain and cool, leaving cod in large pieces. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

In an 8×11 casserole dish, layer half the potato slices, all of the cod, and all of the onions. Top with remaining potato slices. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic, parsley, pepper flakes, paprika, and tomato sauce. Pour evenly over casserole.

Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
