Ingredients

8 small pieces of cod, with skin, desalted (600 g)
4 tablespoons of olive oil (60 ml)
400 g of baby potatoes, with skin
160 g of pearl onions, peeled
1 medium red bell pepper, peeled, seeded, and cut into squares (150 g)
half a teaspoon of salt (2.5 g)

Modo de preparo

In a medium nonstick skillet, place 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add the cod loins and grill for 12 minutes, turning halfway through, or until golden. Remove from the heat and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, place the potatoes, cover with water, and cook over medium heat for 8 minutes. Add the pearl onions and cook for another 2 minutes, or until tender. Drain and let the potatoes cool slightly. Press with the palm of your hand until lightly crushed (use a clean kitchen towel to avoid burning your hands). Set aside.
Assembly: in a medium baking dish (20 x 30 cm), arrange the cod loins and, around them, add the potatoes, pearl onions, and bell pepper. Sprinkle with the salt, drizzle with the remaining olive oil, and bake in a medium oven (180 degrees), preheated, for 20 minutes, or until heated through.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

Tip: to desalinate cod loins, place them in a large bowl, cover with water, and refrigerate for 48 hours, changing the water at least 4 times during this period.
