Ingredients
- 8 ounces of savory salted cod fish
- 4 tablespoons of versatile vegetable oil
- 2 flavorful onions, finely chopped
- 3 juicy tomatoes, coarsely chopped
- 2 vibrant red bell peppers, diced
- 1 tablespoon of zesty lemon juice
- A dash of fiery red pepper flakes
- 6 crisp lettuce leaves
- 1 perfectly ripe avocado, peeled, pitted, and thinly sliced
Step 1
To start, rid the fish of excess salt by gently boiling it in a generous pot of water. Once done, discard the water and repeat the boiling process for best results. Afterwards, drain the fish, flake it delicately, and press out any remaining liquid.
Step 2
Next, in a spacious skillet, sauté a medley of oil, onions, tomatoes, and peppers for a brief 2 minutes. Introduce the flaked saltfish into the mix, along with zesty lemon juice and a touch of hot pepper. Allow the flavors to meld and the moisture to slowly dissipate over low heat.
Step 3
When ready, transfer the delectable concoction into the center of a charming serving dish. Artfully arrange crisp lettuce leaves and luscious avocado slices around the savory centerpiece for a visually appealing presentation.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your saltfish in an airtight container to maintain its freshness and prevent it from absorbing any other odors in the fridge.
- 2. Store your freshly chopped vegetables in a reusable glass container to keep them crisp and ready to add a burst of color and crunch to your salad.
