Bake and Saltfish is a popular breakfast dish in Trinidad and the rest of the West Indies. My stepfather showed me how to make this delicious recipe. I could eat this all day!
And believe me when I say it's SALTY. That's why you must boil it at least twice. It's called salt fish for a reason. Well, some may know it as salt cod (or dried and salted cod).
The more you flake it, the better. You don't want huge pieces in the mix. The hint of oil and blend of the tomatoes, onions, peppers and garlic makes it all the better!
When frying the bake, remember to flip it every 30 seconds 1). to get a even color, 2). so one side won't be puffier than the other and 3). to cook like a pro! :)
