My Favorite Cod Dish from San Sebastian | Bacalao en Salsa Verde

This Spanish Cod with Garlic and Parsley, known as Bacalao en Salsa Verde, is one of the most classic dishes that hail from Spain. But more specifically, from the beautiful city of San Sebastian in the north of Spain. Its got a ton of flavors, it´s easy to make and it´s all done in under 30 minutes.

Bacalao en Salsa Verde
Serve this dish next to a crunchy baguette to mop up all that delicious sauce and a bottle of Spanish wine for an instant trip to beautiful España.

Bacalao en Salsa Verde
To make this dish, I used Spanish Cod Fillets (10% OFF Your Order with Code ¨SPAINONAFORK10¨) from El Barquero. Truly the BEST Cod I have ever tasted. These cod fillets are already seasoned to perfection, so need to add any salt.

Bacalao en Salsa Verde

TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: The thickness of the cod fillets I used where 1 1/2 inch (4 cm) thick. So I fried them for 4 to 5 minutes per side. If the cod fillets you are using are thinner, go for 2 to 3 minutes per side.
