Follow The Directions
01
StepSubmerge the salt cod in a bowl of cold water. Refrigerate for 8 hours, changing the water every 2 hours to draw out excess salt. (Prep time: 8 hours)
02
StepAfter soaking, rinse the cod under cold water and cut it into 3-inch portions.
03
StepIn a large pot, combine the cod and potatoes and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are tender and the cod flakes easily, approximately 20 minutes. Drain thoroughly and allow to cool for 10 minutes. (Cook time: 30 minutes)
04
StepIn a mixing bowl, combine the cooked potatoes and cod. Season with seafood seasoning, pepper, and parsley. Roughly mash the mixture, ensuring that pieces of cod and potato remain. Stir in the beaten eggs and chopped onion until well combined.
05
StepPlace the flour in a shallow bowl. Form the cod mixture into golf ball-sized portions, then gently roll each in the flour. Flatten slightly by pressing between your palms.
06
StepHeat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook the cod cakes in the hot oil until golden and crispy on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil. (Cook time: ~6 minutes per batch)
