Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This easy continental-style recipe for salt cod can be used as an appetizer for a party, as a snack, or as part of a simple meal when combined with rice and greens. It is a recipe served frequently throughout the year and always on Christmas Eve. To form cakes, use two teaspoons; with one hand, take a spoonful of mixture, and with the other hand and a rotating motion, insert the bowl of the second spoon behind the mixture, scooping it out of the first spoon. Repeat several times, back and forth, to obtain an oval shape and smooth finish. This technique does take a little practice!
