Cod in white sauce with pre-soaked, cleaned, and frozen cod

Ingredients:

• soaked and cleaned cod
• 2 medium potatoes  
• 3–4 cloves of garlic  
• 150 ml olive oil (or to taste)  
• Salt and freshly ground pepper  
• Parsley (optional)  

Preparation:

• Place the cod in a pot of cold water and cook for 20-30 minutes, until tender (cooking time depends on the thickness of the pieces). At the same time, cook the peeled and chopped potatoes in salted water in a separate pot.
• Drain the cooked cod and potatoes. Mash the cod with a fork or an immersion blender if you want a smooth texture. Do the same with the potatoes.
• In a large bowl or pot, combine the flaked cod and potatoes. Add the finely minced garlic, then slowly drizzle in the olive oil while mixing (you can use a stand mixer with a dough hook, a whisk, or a wooden spoon). The goal is to achieve a creamy, spreadable texture – something like a thick pâté.
• Add pepper and salt to taste (be careful with the salt). Stir in finely chopped fresh parsley if desired.
• Serve with toasted bread. It can be eaten hot or cold – as you prefer.
