Soak the salted cod in water for 24 hours to remove excess salt.

In a pan, add water and a little olive oil, then bring it to a boil.

Add the soaked cod to the boiling water and cook for about 15-20 minutes until the fish is cooked through.

Remove the fish from the water and let it cool; then take out the bones and flake the fish into a bowl.

Slice one onion very thinly into half moons and add it to the bowl with the flaked fish.

Smash and peel about four cloves of garlic, then slice them thinly and add to the bowl.

Slice half of a red bell pepper into thin strips and add it to the bowl.

Mix the flaked fish, onion, garlic, and red bell pepper together with two forks.

Add a generous amount of olive oil and vinegar to the mixture; do not add any salt.

Roughly chop some parsley and add it to the mixture, then mix everything together again.

Serve the dish cold or hot, with options like baked potatoes or salads.
