Steps
Place the presoaked fish in a pan of cold water and bring to a boil. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or longer if the fish is a thicker piece, as long as it is cooked properly.
Remove the fish and allow to drain well and cool. Break the piece or pieces of fish into bite sized pieces.
Place on a serving plate or in a bowl. Sprinkle with parsley, garlic and drizzle generously with extra virgin olive oil.
Toss gently and serve. Keep salt cod salad leftovers refrigerated.
