Ingredients
  

  • 250 g filet of cod
  • 60 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (about 8 g)
  • ½ tsp smoked sweet paprika
  • a pinch sea salt
  • a pinch black pepper

Equipment

  • Skillet or frying pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk or fork
  • Paper towels
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Soak the cod if it's salted, rinse under cold water, and pat dry before shredding into small flakes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, egg, chopped onion, garlic, parsley, paprika, salt, and pepper, mixing until smooth, then fold in the shredded cod.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and drop spoonfuls of batter into the pan, flattening them slightly. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  4. In a small bowl, blend garlic, saffron, mayonnaise, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to make the aioli; adjust seasoning, and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Don’t skip drying the cod thoroughly to avoid soggy batter. For extra crispiness, chill the batter for 10 minutes before frying. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days and reheat in the oven for the best texture.
