Instructions

  1. Heat avocado oil or grass-fed butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the matchstick potatoes in batches and fry until golden and crisp, about 8–10 minutes. Remove from the skillet, season lightly with salt, and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet over medium heat, add sliced onions and garlic; sauté until translucent and slightly caramelized.
  4. Stir in shredded cod and cook for 3–5 minutes to heat through.
  5. Whisk eggs in a bowl with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
  6. Reduce heat to low, then pour the egg mixture over the fish and onion mixture.
  7. Gently stir until the eggs are softly set and creamy, taking care not to overcook.
  8. Fold the crisp potatoes into the mixture just before serving, then garnish with black olives and fresh parsley and serve immediately.

FAQ

Can I use regular butter instead of grass-fed?

While you can, grass-fed is a cleaner option due to higher levels of healthy fats and antioxidants.

What is the best way to prepare the cod?

Soak salted cod in water for 24-48 hours, change water daily, drain well, and shred before cooking for the best texture and flavor.
