Soak salted cod in water overnight to reduce saltiness.

Drain and rinse the cod, then boil in fresh water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Flake the cooked cod into small pieces and set aside.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add chopped onion, garlic, and scotch bonnet pepper, sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Stir in scallion, and cook for another 3-4 minutes.

Add the flaked cod, mixing well, and cook for 2-3 minutes to combine flavors.

In a separate pan, heat butter over medium heat until melted.

Slice baby bananas lengthwise and fry in the butter until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove the bananas and drain on paper towels.

Combine the fried bananas with the cod mixture, gently tossing to combine.

Drizzle with lime juice and sprinkle with black pepper to taste.

Serve warm as a hearty dish.
