Preparation
- Break the fish in pieces, removing any bones, and place in large saucepan with the water and lemons. Boil over medium-high heat for 10-15 minutes.
- Taste the fish at this point to check the salt level. If it is still too salty, repeat step 1.
- Drain and shred the fish with your fingers.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, scallions, bell peppers, tomatoes, and parsley, and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the saltfish and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Season with black pepper and lime juice, and garnish with cilantro. Serve with sliced avocado.
- Enjoy!
