It features tender salted cod loins, oven-roasted and generously drenched in high-quality olive oil infused with confit garlic and sometimes thinly sliced onions. The key modification is the explicit omission of the traditional roasted punch-hole potatoes.

Salted cod loins, abundant olive oil, garlic cloves, onions (optional), parsley, black olives (optional).
How to make it keto
