Ingredients

  1. Soak the salted cod in cold water for 24 hours, changing the water every 6 hours to remove excess salt.

  3. In a separate pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sauté until translucent.
  4. Add the salted cod and cook for 10-12 minutes, until the cod is flaky.
  5. Add the green olives and salt to taste. Cook for another 5 minutes.
  6. Serve the Bacalhau à Brás with the potatoes on the side.
  7. Cook fish and seafood to an internal temperature of 63°C (145°F) before serving.
