Salt Cod (Bacalao)
Salt cod, known as bacalao, is a staple in many European and Latin American cuisines, particularly in Portugal, Spain, and Italy. This fish is typically dried and salted to preserve it, a method that dates back to ancient times when refrigeration was unavailable. Salt cod has a robust, briny flavor that is both savory and slightly fishy, with a firm and flaky texture when properly rehydrated and cooked. Its distinctive taste can enhance dishes with depth and complexity. In cooking, salt cod must be thoroughly desalted through soaking to reduce its saltiness, and it performs well in stews, soups, and bakes, where its texture holds up well while infusing the dish with flavor.
