Instructions

- Crush with the blender adding water depending on how liquid you want the sauce and return to the previously used pan with a bay leaf and salt to taste. (if you want the sauce finer, you can pass it through a sieve)
- In a frying pan with a good amount of olive oil, add the garlic cloves. Once the garlic is sautéed, put the Bacalao on the skin side and confit for two minutes on each side. Remove and set aside
