- 1
Ensure the salt cod has been properly soaked and desalted (usually 24-48 hours, changing water multiple times). Rinse and pat dry.
- 2
Cut the cod into serving-sized pieces.
- 3
In a large, deep pan or pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sautรฉ until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- 4
Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- 5
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring constantly to form a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
- 6
Gradually whisk in the warm milk, ensuring no lumps form. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring until the sauce thickens.
- 7
Add the dry white wine and the bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper to taste, remembering that the cod is already salty.
- 8
Gently place the cod pieces into the simmering sauce. Ensure they are mostly submerged.
- 9
Cover the pan and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, or until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily. Avoid overcooking.
- 10
Stir in most of the chopped fresh parsley. Remove the bay leaf.
- 11
Serve hot, garnished with the remaining parsley. It's traditionally served with boiled potatoes or polenta.
