Chef tips:
Salted cod has been preserved by salting and then drying it and does require some preparation before it is ready to be used. You must soak the salted cod for at least forty-eight hours, changing the water often as it soaks. Even though the fish has been soaked, it is impossible to remove all of the salt, so not not add any additional salt to this dish!
