Ingredients to make Ajoarriero cod with potatoes:

• 2 pieces of fresh or frozen cod (about 400 grams)
• 4 garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon of hot paprika
• 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
• 2 potatoes
• 1 pinch of fine salt
• chopped parsley
• chopped chives

How to make Ajoarriero cod with potatoes:

1. Defrosting the cod in the event that we have bought it frozen, and desalting it, in the event that it is fresh and not desalted, is the first thing we have to do to prepare this recipe for garlic cod with potatoes. To do this, place it in a container with water and change it a few times every so often until it is at its salt point.
2. Once we have the fish at its point, we put the oil in a frying pan over medium heat and when it is hot we fry the cod putting it with the skin up for about 3 minutes. Then we turn it over and fry it for another 5 minutes with the skin on the bottom. So that the skin does not stick, sprinkle a pinch of salt and cover the pan for about 3 more minutes to cook it this time over low heat and finish steaming it with its own juices.
3. Trick: The cooking of the cod depends on its thickness, but you know if it is done when the flakes open.
4. In the meantime, we wash the potatoes, prick them with a knife in several places, wrap them in damp kitchen paper and roast the potatoes in the microwave for about 6 minutes at 800 W of power. When that time has passed, we let them rest wrapped for about 4 more minutes and they will be well done. We booked.
5. If you prefer, you can cook the roasted potatoes in the oven, but in this way, you save a lot of time and they are just as good.
6. Once the cod is done, we take it out of the pan and reserve it covered so that it cools as little as possible. Then the time has come to know how to make the ajoarriero: for this we peel and cut the garlic into slices and fry them in the same pan.
7. Now we place the pieces of fried fish on the plate where we are going to present the ajoarriero cod with potatoes and, when the garlic is golden, we remove them from the oil and place them on top of the fish.
8. Next, turn off the heat, add the hot paprika to the pan, stir a little so that all the flavors of the cod with potatoes ajoarriero recipe are integrated and, without the paprika burning, pour it with the oil on top of the fish.
9. To finish, we cut the roast potatoes into slices without peeling them and place them on one side of the plate sprinkled with a pinch of salt and a little bit of parsley and chopped chives. ET voila! In a few minutes we have a garlic cod with potatoes to dip bread.
10. This is the garnish that I have chosen to prepare this recipe for ajoarriero cod with potatoes, but you can serve the fish alone or with another accompaniment that you like more.
