For an even richer flavor, consider using a blend of Gruyère and Parmesan cheese. If you don't have salted cod, you can use fresh cod, but be sure to add salt to taste. Serve with a crisp green salad and a glass of Vinho Verde for a truly authentic Portuguese experience.

May 30, 2025The only change I made was to use a little less salt, as the cod was already quite salty. Otherwise, this recipe is perfect!
