Peel and cut potatoes into chunks.

Boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Remove potatoes and set aside, keeping the water boiling.

Add soaked cod to the boiling water and cook for 10-15 minutes until flaky.

Remove cod, let cool slightly, and flake into large pieces.

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté garlic and onion until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add red bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5 minutes more.

Stir in chopped tomatoes and cook until sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.

In a blender, combine almonds, paprika, red wine vinegar, and a pinch of salt; blend until smooth.

Incorporate the tomato mixture into the blended sauce, adjusting seasoning as needed.

Serve the flaked cod over the potatoes, drizzled with romesco sauce and garnished with parsley.
