Soak salt cod in water for 24 hours, changing water occasionally.

Drain cod and rinse under cold water to remove excess salt.

Boil cod in fresh water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Remove cod from water and let cool, then flake into pieces, removing bones.

Peel and slice potatoes into thin strips, then fry in olive oil until golden and crisp.

In a separate pan, sauté onions and garlic in olive oil until translucent.

Add flaked cod to the onion mixture and stir to combine.

In a bowl, whisk eggs and season with pepper and paprika.

Pour the egg mixture over the cod and onion, stirring gently until just set, about 3-4 minutes.

Fold in fried potatoes and mix gently to combine.

Garnish with black olives and chopped parsley before serving.

Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
