How to desalt cod
Cut the cod into medium pieces, about 10 centimeters, you must leave it in water for about 36 hours in the fridge, As minimum. Every 12 hours you must remove the water and place a new one. Move the fish a little to release the salt.

Golden tips for cod in cream
- We cannot know if the fish, at the time of preparation, will have some salt or will have lost all of it, so before putting the dish in the oven, check that it has the flavor you like.
- Here is a very simple recipe to get a good béchamelalthough remember that it should not be very dense because the potatoes require cooking and if it is very thick it will only be gratinated but will not cook the rest of them.
- If you do not have cream, although it sounds contradictory, you can use only milk and flour (bechamel). The cream provides more creaminess and sobriety in the flavor but it works very well without it.
