Bacalao en Salsa "Cod with Fish Sauce"
Bacalao en Salsa is such a great dish! This fish recipe uses fresh cod or hake and the flavors really combine nicely. I was looking for a new way to cook soft white fish one night, so I came up with this Spanish-inspired dish with what I had on hand in the kitchen! I have never had this in Spain, but my wife assures me this is very similar to a classic Spanish dish. The dish is incredibly easy to make, so give it a try! Just make the sauce and cook the fish in the sauce. The sauce is great for dipping some fresh bread into, so make sure you have some on hand! Enjoy!
