Steps:
- Soak the dried salted cod in cold water with the skin side up for 24 hours, changing the water about 4 times. Drain and discard the water.
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place the cod in a pan with enough water to cover; bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes. Remove the cod from the pan; remove and discard the skin and bones. Cut the cod into chunks and set aside.

- Melt the butter in a separate pan over medium-low heat; vigorously stir the flour into the melted butter. Slowly stream the hot milk into the mixture while stirring; cook and stir until thick. Season with the nutmeg. Pour into the casserole with 1 1/3 cups cream; stir to coat. Allow the mixture to simmer together for about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle remaining 2/3 cup cream over the mixture; sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese.

Steps:
- Make the teriyaki sauce: In a medium saucepan over high heat, add the soy sauce, mirin, water, vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. Stir to combine and bring it to a boil. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to form a slurry and add it to the boiling mixture. Cook and stir until the sauce thickens. Reduce the heat to low and keep warm.
- Season the codfish with salt and pepper, to taste. Dust the fillets lightly with flour, shaking off any excess. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a thin layer of oil. When the oil is hot, add the codfish and cook until it's browned on both sides and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Remove the fish to a plate and keep warm. Cook the scallions in the same pan, adding more oil if necessary, until they are browned and have softened slightly.
- Heat another saucepan over medium-high heat, add a thin layer of oil, and cook the ginger and chile pepper until they are softened, about 2 minutes. Carefully pour in the white wine and cook until it has almost evaporated. Stir in the heavy cream and reduce it by half. Pour in a 1/2 cup of the teriyaki sauce. Add the mussels, cover, and cook until the mussels have opened, about 5 minutes.
- Put 2 scallions on each serving plate and arrange a piece of fish on top. Add a few mussels and spoon over some of the cream sauce. Drizzle each plate with extra teriyaki sauce and garnish with chervil leaves.

ENCA MELLO'S CREAMED SALT COD

Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Steps:
- Soak the salt cod in the refrigerator 24 hours (or better yet, 48 hours) in several changes of cold water. (Keep the bowl covered so the whole refrigerator doesn't smell of fish.) Drain the cod, rinse, and drain well again. Remove bones and skin, and with your fingers pull the cod into small shreds; set aside.
- In a large heavy skillet set over very low heat, sauté the onion in 3 tablespoons of the olive oil about 15 minutes until very soft and golden, stirring now and then. Meanwhile, stir-fry the potatoes in the remaining oil in a second large heavy skillet over moderately low heat about 2 minutes until they begin to color; add the water, turn the heat to its lowest point, cover, and cook 15 minutes; set off the heat and reserve, still covered. As soon as the onions are softly golden, mix in the cod and 1/2 cup of the milk, cover, and cook over lowest heat, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes.
- While the cod cooks, prepare a white sauce: Melt the butter in a small heavy saucepan over moderate heat and blend in the flour; add the remaining milk and heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and smooth - about 3 minutes. Blend in the white pepper and reserve.
- When the cod has only 10 minutes more to cook, preheat the oven to very hot (450°F.). When the cod is done, mix in the potatoes, white sauce, and cream. Transfer to a buttered shallow 3-quart earthenware casserole or au gratin pan. Bake uncovered for 15 minutes, lower the oven temperature to moderate (350°F.), and bake uncovered 25 minutes longer or until bubbly and tipped with brown. Serve at once with a tartly dressed salad of crisp greens and, to complete the meal, a light dessert of fresh fruit. Portuguese wines available here that would complement the salt cod nicely would be such authoritative dry reds as Dão Grão Vasco or a well aged Colares. The Portuguese always prefer to sip tinto (red wine) with bacalhau, which they consider too rich and heavy for white wines.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 450°F. In a medium bowl, stir together 1½ cups sour cream and 2 tablespoons onion powder. Zest 1 lemon into the bowl. Snip ¾ of 1 small bunch of chives into the bowl with scissors (hold on to the rest). Stir to combine and season to taste with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, stir together ½ cup panko breadcrumbs and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Pat dry four 6 oz. fish fillets (cod, salmon, halibut, trout) that are max 1½ inches thick. Transfer to a parchment-lined sheet pan, season with salt and pepper, and cover the flesh with a thin layer of the sour cream mixture (reserve the rest). Press the panko mixture on top, then bake until the fish flakes easily and the panko is browned, 10 to 12 minutes per inch of thickness. (If your fish is cooked through before the panko's browned, broil for a minute or two.)
- Meanwhile, squeeze the juice from half the lemon (about 1½ tablespoons) into the remaining sour cream mixture. Slice 1 big head crisp lettuce (romaine, iceberg).
- Divide the lettuce between plates and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and the juice from the remaining lemon. Add the fish to the plates, then snip the remaining chives over. Eat with the sour cream and onion dip.

Tips:

- Soak the codfish in milk for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to remove any excess salt and make the fish more tender.
- Cook the codfish over medium heat. High heat will cause the fish to overcook and become tough.
- Use a variety of seasonings to flavor the codfish. Some good options include salt, pepper, garlic, onion, and paprika.
- Serve the codfish with your favorite sides. Some popular options include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and rice.

Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight dinner or a special occasion dish, codfish has something to offer everyone.
