Chop the large and small onions into small pieces.

Mix one six-ounce can of tomato paste with six ounces of water in a bowl and set aside.

Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the salt fish.

Boil the salt fish for about 5 to 7 minutes, then pour out the water.

Repeat the boiling process for another 7 minutes to remove excess salt, then pour out the water again.

Allow the boiled salt fish to cool down before flaking it apart with a fork.

Saute the chopped onions in a non-stick pan with grape seed oil until they become translucent and soft.

Add the flaked salt fish to the pan with the sautéed onions and mix together.

Add a half cup of water to the mixture to prevent burning.

Add the entire six-ounce can of tomato paste mixed with water to the pan and fold it into the mixture.
