Soak salted cod in water for 24 hours, changing water several times.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add sliced onions and sauté until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Stir in crushed tomatoes and water; cook until they break down, about 8-10 minutes.

Add the soaked cod, white wine, and simmer for 15-20 minutes.

Incorporate olives, capers, and season with salt and black pepper; cook for another 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, boil sliced potatoes until tender, then drain.

Layer the sliced potatoes on a serving dish, topped with the cod mixture.

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
