Instructions
  1. In a large pot, combine sliced onions, a pinch of salt, and a drizzle of olive oil. Cook over low heat for about 50 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions are golden and caramelized.
  2. In a skillet, heat a generous amount of olive oil over high heat. Add green peppers and whole garlic cloves, frying until the peppers are tender. Drain and season lightly with salt.
  3. Lightly coat the desalted cod fillets with flour, shaking off any excess.
  4. In a separate skillet, heat a good amount of oil over high heat. Carefully place the cod fillets in the hot oil and fry for about 4 minutes, depending on thickness, until golden and crispy. Flip the fillets and cook the other side until golden brown.
  5. Drain the fried cod on paper towels to absorb excess oil. On a serving plate, spread warm caramelized onions, place the crispy cod on top, and finish with the sautéed green pepper strips. Enjoy your delicious fried cod dish!
