About the recipe
Cod à Gomes de Sá is a classic associated with Porto and the generous, family-style cooking.
The dish highlights cod flakes, boiled potatoes, and plenty of olive oil, resulting in a simple yet flavorful recipe.
The tradition allows for small variations, especially in baking time and onion intensity.

- Place in a medium oven for about 20 minutes to heat and meld the flavors.

Tips from Empório Portugal
- Do not break the cod too much: large flakes make the dish more elegant.
- The dish should go into the oven moist with olive oil, never dry.
- Prepare part of the assembly in advance and finish close to serving.
Possible substitutions in Brazil
- Common English potato works well if cut into thick slices.
