Authentic Italian baccala

Authentic Italian Baccala is the name for cod that has be cured or preserved with salt. The resulting fish is pleasantly flaky in texture with an irresistibly intense  but never fishy- flavor. In Italy , baccala is a celebrated fish and a fish for celebrations. Growing up Baccala with potatoes was always a  part of the feast of seven fishes on Christmas eve. Sometimes my mother would make it like a salad, that consisted of the prepared cod and potatoes with a simple extra virgin olive oil and freshly squeezed, either way it was delicious.  When it comes to carrying on tradition  it can often mean extra work as it takes us back to a time where ingredients were less abundant. Since the fish is preserved/dried with salt, before it is edible it needs to be soaked in water and changed frequently to reconstitute it and remove the salt.

Top tips when making authentic Italian baccala

Changing the water: Baccala has a ton of salt and nothing would be worse than rushing this process and ruining your Holiday meal. I let it go for three days changing the water every day. Trust me on this – I see plenty of baccala recipes on line you only need to soak the fish for 24 hours. In my experience that simply won’t work and you will be left with inedible overly salted pieces.

This authentic Italian baccala recipe is steeped in Italian heritage, is more than just a meal- it is a celebration of flavor and family . Whether served during festive holidays or as a comforting weeknight dinner, it’s delicate , savory taste highlights the essence of Italian cooking.

This complete cod dinner is ready in less than thirty minutes, is made in one pan and the fish comes out perfectly tender with a golden flaky exterior while the inside remains moist and flavorful.  The seasonings enhances the natural taste, and the fish practically falls apart at the touch of a fork.

Tips for making this oven baked Mediterranean cod dinner

1. Season generously. Mediterranean flavors thrive on bold seasonings. Use plenty of a good quality olive oil, and a mixture of fresh and dry  herbs. Be sure to season the fish generously fish can be bland and needs to be seasoned well.
2. Don’t overcook the fish. Cod  can dry out easily if overbaked. that’s why we cook the potatoes and tomatoes first before adding the fish.

Roasting them with the fish allows them to absorb the same flavors, creating a delicious and healthy  well-flavored dish.
