This recipe is a great way to serve baccalà on Christmas Eve to those guests that are not so wild about baccalà. The sweetness of the onions roasting with the potatoes and baccalà in olive oil, gives this dish a mild, pleasant fish flavor without being overpowering. We call this Baccalà for Beginners.

DIRECTIONS
  1. Prepare and soak your baccala at least 3 days prior.  Follow this link to learn How to Prepare your Christmas Baccala, Step by Step. 
  2. Preheat your oven to 375˚F. Rinse the cod for a last time; dry it well and cut into small pieces. In a shallow casserole dish, toss the potato rounds and onion slices with the butter and olive oil. Add the baccalà and gently toss. Season with crushed red and black peppers. Cover the casserole with foil and place into the oven.
  3. Roast for about 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Add a bit of water, about 2 tablespoons, if needed, during cooking; continue to stir while cooking, but gently to avoid breaking the fish. Season with salt, if needed.
  4. Serve drizzled with extra virgin olive oil.
