Cod In The Pan

Preparation:

Preparation: For a good result of the dish, if you buy salted and dried cod, you have to keep it soaked for 3/4 days by constantly changing the water which must always remain quite clear. The purpose of the operation is to eliminate the salt and to soften the fish by preparing it for cooking. When the time has come to prepare the dish, drain the cod and remove the skin by pulling it with your hands and removing the thorns from the large pieces that will be used whole for the portions. Separately prepare a mixture with the crumbs of coarsely crumbled homemade bread, a spoonful of oil, the pickled peppers cut into small pieces, the whole pine nuts, a bay leaf and the raisins previously soaked for 10 minutes in a little water. Cover the bottom of a baking tray first with a drizzle of oil and then with a carpet of bay leaves arranged side by side without overlapping. Then make a layer of cod and add a drizzle of oil. Cover with the mixture from which you have removed the bay leaf and again spread a drizzle of oil, this time a little more abundant. Put in the oven at 180 degrees and cook for about 45 minutes, taking care to cover the pan with aluminum foil for the last 15 minutes to avoid browning the breadcrumbs and to keep the fish very soft.
