CODFISH WITH CREAM
This a traditional Portuguese way of cooking codfish, from the capital city of Lisbon. In a country with a large tradition of making codfish in several ways, this is, for me, the most delicious and sinful way of eating this wonderful fish. Taste it and you will see!

Steps:
- Soak the dried salted cod in cold water with the skin side up for 24 hours, changing the water about 4 times. Drain and discard the water.
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place the cod in a pan with enough water to cover; bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes. Remove the cod from the pan; remove and discard the skin and bones. Cut the cod into chunks and set aside.
- Heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, fry the potatoes in the hot oil until just cooked, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
- Pour the olive oil into a Dutch oven or heat-proof casserole dish over medium heat. Cook the onion and garlic in the oil until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the cod and cook another 3 minutes; stir the potatoes into the mixture and cook another 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
- Melt the butter in a separate pan over medium-low heat; vigorously stir the flour into the melted butter. Slowly stream the hot milk into the mixture while stirring; cook and stir until thick. Season with the nutmeg. Pour into the casserole with 1 1/3 cups cream; stir to coat. Allow the mixture to simmer together for about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle remaining 2/3 cup cream over the mixture; sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the top is browned, 30 to 40 minutes. Serve hot.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
- Season Generously: Cajun food is known for its bold flavors, so don't be afraid to season your dishes liberally. Use a variety of spices, such as paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. This is especially important for the vegetables and herbs.
- Don't Overcook the Seafood: Seafood cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery.
- Serve with Rice: Cajun dishes are often served with rice, which helps to soak up the flavorful sauces.
