List of Ingredients



• 8 ounces salt cod

Instructions



1. Soak cod in cold water to cover in the refrigerator for 12 hours, changing water at least 3 times.
   
   
2. Drain fish; remove and discard skin and bones. Combine fish and water to cover in a small skillet; bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes or until fish flakes with a fork. Drain fish; cool and flake.
   
   
3. Combine cod and next 3 ingredients. Combine flour and baking powder in a separate bowl; add to cod mixture. Stir in egg and 1/4 cup water just until blended.
