Ingredients

Potato and Parsnip Purée

Sauce

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
  • Cut the salted fish into serving pieces and place them in a baking dish with a bit of oil at the bottom.
  • Drizzle olive oil and sherry vinegar over the fish and bake in the middle of the oven until the fish flakes apart, about 20 minutes.

Potato and Parsnip Purée

  • Peel the potatoes and parsnips, slice them, and cook until tender in unsalted water.
  • Drain the cooking water and let the vegetables steam well.
  • Mash them thoroughly, then stir in butter and cream until smooth.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Sauce

  • Finely chop the parsley and onion, and mix with olive oil and lemon juice to make the sauce.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the salted fish with potato and parsley purée, and parsley sauce.

Tip:In spring, when you can gather wild garlic, it makes a good substitute for parsley in the green sauce. Wild garlic has a mild garlic-like flavor.
