Soak 1 pound of salted codfish in fresh water for 20 minutes to remove salt.

Rinse the codfish 2-3 times, massaging it to remove excess salt.

In a pot, add water and the codfish along with 2 medium potatoes; cook for 12 minutes on medium-high heat.

Remove the potatoes and set aside; taste the codfish and rinse again if still salty.

In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil and sauté 1 tablespoon of red onion and 1 tablespoon of green and red bell peppers for 3 minutes until soft.

Add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1 more minute.

Add the codfish, 1/2 cup of tomato sauce, 1/4 cup of water, 1 teaspoon of Dominican oregano, and 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper; mix well.

Add fresh cilantro and the cooked potatoes, mixing gently.

Taste and add a pinch of salt if needed; cover and cook for 8 minutes.
