Bacalhau à Lagareiro

Weeknight-friendly Portuguese cooking: Bacalhau à Lagareiro comes together in 60 minutes with cod (salted, soaked), potatoes, and not much else. The macros do the talking: 45g protein, 47g carbs, and 49g fat in every 804-calorie serving. It scales cleanly if you are cooking for more than one.

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb Cod (salted, soaked)
• 2 lb Potatoes
• 3/4 cup Olive oil
• 8 cloves Garlic
• 2 Bay leaf
• 1 Onion
• 1/4 cup Parsley
• 1/2 cup Black olives

Steps

1. Desalt the cod and grill it skin-side down until the skin blisters and crisps.
2. Boil the potatoes whole, then smash them flat — à lagareiro means the oil-press style.
3. Roast the smashed potatoes at 425 degrees in olive oil until the edges shatter.
4. Warm thick slices of garlic in the remaining oil until just golden; add bay for perfume.
5. Plate the cod over the potatoes and drown everything in the garlic oil.
6. Finish with olives and parsley; the simplest cod dish is often the best.
