Soak 2 lbs of dried cod in water for 2 days, changing the water to remove salt.

Boil the soaked cod for 7 minutes, then let it cool.

Shred the cooled cod with fingers into a mixing bowl.

Add 1.5 cups of chopped parsley and 1 large chopped sweet onion to the bowl.

Scramble 1 egg with a fork and add it to the mixture.

Mix the cod, parsley, onion, and egg thoroughly.

In a separate bowl, mix 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 teaspoon of baking soda.

Sprinkle the flour mixture over the cod mixture while mixing.

Add salt and pepper to taste, and mix thoroughly.

Lightly grease hands and use an ice cream scooper to form croquettes of the same size.

Heat an automatic fryer and dunk a spider to prevent sticking.

Fry the croquettes until golden brown.

Prepare toasted panko breadcrumbs mixed with parsley.

While croquettes are still warm, dunk them in the panko breadcrumbs.

Grate lemon zest over the croquettes and serve with lemon.
