Ingredients

Directions

Step #1 Put cod In a large-ish bowl & cover with cold water by 2 inches.
Step #2 Soak cod, chilled, up to 3 days A less salty variety may need only 1 day of soaking, changing water 3 times a day, while another could require up to 3.
Step #3 To test it, simply taste a small piece after 1 day; you want it to be pleasantly salty but not overwhelmingly so.
Step #4 Drain & chill until ready to use.
Step #5 Drain cod & transfer to a 5- to 6-quart pot with 1 1/2 quarts water.
Step #6 Bring just to a simmer & remove this from heat.
Step #7 (Cod will just flake; do not boil or it will become tough.
Step #8 ) Gently transfer cod with a slotted spoon to a platter to cool slightly.
Step #9 Shred cod & stir this together with celery, olives, garlic, peppers, & parsley.
Step #10 Stir together lemon juice, then pour over salad, & oil, vinegar, tossing to coat well.
Step #11 Spice up with pepper & chill, covered, at least 1 1/2 hrs for flavors to develop.
