Soak the cod the day before to ensure it is at the optimal level of salt for spiritual cod. In the first 6 hours, change the water 3 times every 2 hours, and then let it soak for another 12 hours. Chop the garlic, onion, and carrot very finely in brunoise. Sauté the vegetables and add the drained cod. Incorporate the bread and then the milk. Let everything cook together until it reaches a thick consistency. Fry the potatoes in well-heated olive oil. For the béchamel: Sauté the flour with olive oil and gradually add the milk mixed with cream. Finally, season with nutmeg and pepper. Adjust the salt to taste. For assembling the dish, you will need a baking tray. Place the cod mixture at the bottom, followed by the potatoes, and top with the béchamel. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes and our spiritual cod is ready.
