Codfish with Egg Sauce

Codfish with Egg Sauce

A simple and classic codfish dish with a rich egg sauce, perfect for a light meal.

Ingredients

  • 0.5 pound Salt codfish (Soaked overnight to remove excess salt)
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (Chopped)
  • 0.25 teaspoon Salt (Or to taste)
  • 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (Freshly ground, or to taste)
  • 0.25 cup Boiling water (Approximately)
  • 2 Egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon All-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (Freshly squeezed)

Instructions

  1. 1Boil the salt codfish until cooked through. This may take 10-15 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish. Drain the fish and let it cool slightly. Remove the skin and bones, then flake the fish into smaller pieces.
  2. 2In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flaked codfish, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir constantly and cook for about 5 minutes, adding a little boiling water from time to time to keep the fish moist.
  3. 3In a small bowl, beat the egg yolks with the flour until smooth. Add this mixture to the skillet with the codfish. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  4. 4Squeeze lemon juice over the codfish and egg sauce. Serve immediately.
