BACALAO FISH RECIPES

Steps:

• Season fish with salt, ground cumin and Tajin.
• Combine the ingredients for the sauce in a small bowl and refrigerate until ready to eat.
• Toss the slaw ingredients and keep cold.
• Place on preheated skillet and spray with olive oil, cook 4 to 5 minutes on each side until fish is just opaque and charred. Break up in large chunks.
• Char the tortillas over an open flame on the burner or in a skillet about 30 seconds on each side, stack on a plate covered with a towel to keep warm.
• Assemble tacos. Place slaw on the bottom of each tortilla, top with fish and drizzle with sauce, serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

• In a large pot, add the codfish and cover with 1 gallon of water. Bring it to a boil and cook for 10 minutes to remove the salt. Drain the cod and break it into small flakes with a spoon. Set aside.
• In a large frying pan heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the green peppers, onion, tomatoes, and culantro and cook for 2 minutes. Add the codfish, bay leaves, red bell peppers, tomato paste, and capers. Cook until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the boiled potatoes and cook until heated through, about 2 more minutes. 
• Garnish with cilantro. Serve with rice or cooked plantains, if desired.
• Serving suggestion: white rice or cooked plantains.
