Ingredients

  • Eggs: 8 large eggs, ideally at room temperature. Room temperature eggs beat up fluffier and cook more evenly, giving your omelette a better texture.
  • Salt Cod (Bacallà): 1 pound (about 450g) salted cod fillets. This preserved, very salty fish is the star! You can find pre-desalted cod, but we'll also cover how to desalt it yourself.
  • Onion: 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced. Slow-cooking the onion brings out its natural sweetness, which is crucial for balancing the flavors.
  • Bell Pepper: 1 large green bell pepper, thinly sliced. Adds a lovely aroma and a touch of freshness.
  • Garlic: 2 cloves garlic, minced. A classic Mediterranean aromatic that pairs perfectly with cod.
  • Fresh Parsley: 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped, plus extra for garnish. Adds a vibrant, fresh finish.
  • Olive Oil: 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for cooking. Good quality olive oil enhances the overall flavor. You can mix it with a neutral oil if you prefer.
  • Black Pepper: 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
  • Salt: Just a pinch, only if needed after desalting and tasting the cod mixture. Salt cod is, well, salty!
