Yield Makes 8 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 12-ounce piece dried salt cod (with skin and bones)
1 medium onion, minced
1 medium green bell pepper, minced
2 medium tomatoes, seeded, finely chopped
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon finely grated lime peel
1/2 teaspoon minced seeded Scotch bonnet chile or habanero chile
1 hard-boiled egg, peeled, chopped
1 avocado, peeled, pitted, sliced

Steps:

  • Rinse salt cod with cold water. Place fish in large bowl; cover with cold water. Cover bowl and refrigerate at least 24 hours, changing water once. Drain.
  • Place fish in large skillet; cover with cold water and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until fish flakes easily, about 50 minutes. Drain; cool slightly. Using fingers, shred fish, discarding skin and bones. Measure 11/2 cups shredded fish and place in medium bowl (reserve any remaining fish for another use). Add onion, bell pepper, tomatoes, lime juice, lime peel, and chile to fish and stir to blend. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover and chill.)
  • Mound salad in center of platter. Sprinkle with chopped egg. Surround with avocado slices and serve.

This recipe seems a bit complicated for a weeknight meal. I'm looking for something simpler.

I followed the recipe exactly and the saltfish came out dry and overcooked. I think the cooking time needs to be adjusted.

This recipe is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I can appreciate the complex flavors. I would recommend using less pepper next time.
