Short description: This baked casserole softens salt cod in a creamy potato layer with a browned top.
Ingredients: Salt cod, potatoes, onions, cream or milk, olive oil, garlic, béchamel, cheese or breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper.
Cultural note: It is associated with home ovens and restaurant lunch menus built around preserved fish.
Common misconception: It is not simply fish in cream; the cod is usually desalted first and layered with potatoes and onions.
