  1. 1

    Soak the salted cod in cold water overnight or for a few hours. Drain the water and repeat. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the cod for 5 minutes; drain and let it cool, keeping the cod in large pieces. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  3. 3

    In an 8x11 casserole dish, arrange half of the potato slices, then all of the cod, and all of the onions. Add the remaining potato slices on top. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, parsley, pepper flakes, paprika, and tomato sauce. Pour the mixture evenly over the casserole.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
