Salt Cod Omelet

Bacalao or dried salt cod is usually served during Holy Week in the Philippines and Christmas in Spain, Portugal, and Italy. I was in the mood for a light lunch and thought of making salt cod omelet. It has very few ingredients but very flavorful and satisfying. If salt cod is not available in your area you can salt and dry cod fillet at home. It will take a few days to cure but it will be worth the wait.

Fish for Holy Week

bacalao

tawilis steamed with sea salt and kamias and wrapped in banana leaves

monkfish chunks wrapped in prosciutto

I cooked a few fish dishes, there's also meat and vegetarian dishes for non fish eaters. I'm not inclined to do anything for the next few days and also will not be posting until Easter. So here are some ideas for a fishy weekend:

• Monkfish chunks wrapped in prosciutto, sauce is butter and white wine
• Fresh cod simmered with black olives, red bell peppers, sliced baby potatoes and onions
• Tawilis steamed with salt and kamias wrapped in banana leaves
• Baked or grilled milkfish stuffed with chopped tomatoes and onions
