Elegant salad featuring salt cod and sweet oranges for a delightful taste combination.
Ingredients:
  • 300g piece dried salt cod (bacalao)
  • 700g small kipfler potatoes, scrubbed
  • 12 Gordal olives (see note), flesh cut away from stone in 'cheeks'
  • 50g whole blanched almonds, roasted
  • 1/2 small Spanish onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 bulb baby fennel, halved, thinly shaved
  • 4 oranges, peeled, segmented, then segments halved
  • 1 head baby endive, roughly chopped
  • 125.00 ml torn flat-leaf parsley leaves
  • 150ml orange juice (about 2 oranges)
  • 20.00 ml oloroso sherry (see note)
  • 20.00 ml sherry vinegar
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) extra virgin olive oil
Instructions:
  • Start by rinsing the cod under cold running water to get rid of excess salt. Next, place the cod in an oiled, foil-lined roasting pan and cook under a preheated grill for 15 minutes on each side until it's lightly browned. Transfer the cooked cod to a bowl, pour boiling water over it to cover, and let it soak for 2 hours. Drain the cod, remove the skin and bones, and finely flake the flesh.
  • Boil potatoes until tender in a saucepan, then drain and cool slightly before peeling and slicing into 5mm-thick slices.
  • Simmer orange juice until reduced to 2 tablespoons in a small saucepan. Cool, then whisk in remaining ingredients. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Mix together flaked cod, potatoes, olives, almonds, onion, and shaved fennel in a large bowl with the dressing, ensuring everything is well coated. Gently fold in orange segments, endive, and parsley before serving right away.
