JAMAICAN SALT FISH RECIPE | HOW TO MAKE SALT FISH (CODFISH RECIPE)

Hi guys! ♡
Today, I’m sharing my simplified version for the requested recipe for JAMAICAN STYLE SALTFISH (aka codfish)
For the Ingredients, you’ll need:
-1 pack of salt fish (12 oz)
-1 medium onion, chopped
-1 medium tomato, chopped
-1/2 red AND green bell peppers, finely chopped
-1 small piece of scotch bonnet pepper (omit if you don’t want the dish spicy, or add it after it's cooked like I did)
-a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil (for frying both veggies & the saltfish)
- a pinch of black pepper (to taste)
I realize I forgot to add the scotch bonnet pepper after editing😅🤦🏽‍♀️ be sure to add it (per your preference)
I hope you guys enjoyed this video!

Hi Janiel, your video was the perfect one for me, I needed a refresh on this recipe I'm a full-grown Haitian man and it's been years since I didn't cook. After a few months with the covid-19, I come back on it. Then last night I decided to cook myself the codfish on white rice along with the red peas purée. Thanks for your clear and limpid explanations.

[@googlevision]

Thank you for the recipe, I made it this morning except I didn't have a tomato. I improvise and use crushed tomatoes and green onion. Thanks again for sharing. 👍👍👍

[@linabuddafly8664]

Ive always loved to eat carribean food yet now since moving into my own place, having a stronger relationship and your cooking recipes I have gotten SOOOOOOOO much better at cooking different cultures in the carribean community!. Keep up the great chef work

[@JayJay-ki4mi]

I wanted a recipe without ackee and this looks delicious. Going to make this tonight. First time I've tried saltfish. I'm going to have it with dumplings. Edit: pinching the saltfish by hand is the best way if you have children or dont want to deal with the bones. Edit: Turned out delicious, I couldn't even taste the fish tbf.

[@carlahenry7311]

I’ve used this recipe several times now! Thank you so much for your recipe... it’s simple and your video gets straight to the point! I add a bit of ketchup right before it’s done, to get rid of the oily taste. So bomb! Just sliced some avocado while I wait for my plantain to finish frying. Thank you again!! 🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬

I'm making sum right now myself with some boil dumplings. Trini style lol

[@GLguygardner]

I made this again tonight. Still hits! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👍🏿

[@mountainman4859]

This looks so wonderful. I wonder if you have any idea what substitutions can be used tor the tomatoes and peppers. They are nightshade vegetables (as are potatoes) and people who suffer from gout attacks should avoid nightshade vegetables. Perhaps Daikon radish and mushrooms and carrots? I have never been a fish eater so really don't know what veggies would work. Thanks.

[@comradebrucewayne2607]

Fire!! Defo gonna try this soon, it looks like a splash of lemon would add a nice light touch at the end, Jamaicans if I’m violating lmk lol

[@tinawisdom4481]

No lemon needed lol

[@rowenadeluc7156]

Lovely! Straight to the point. Thank you.

Going to try your salt fish recipe

[@sandamariaradu]

Thank you...I like it with akee and callaloo🤤

[@rogerthedodger5788]

If you can't get salt fish is it OK to substitute with fresh cod / pollock / haddock?

[@cookingwithjaniel]

It’s not going to give the same flavor, but it’s worth the try with cod but just add a little seasoning for taste. Hope this helps.

[@Madewithlovebysky]

This recipe was so good !!

[@cookingwithjaniel]

Thanks T!!🥰💕😘

[@adrn8604]

I added spinach to this and it came out gooooood

[@cookingwithjaniel]

@@adrn8604 Sounds yummy; I’m glad you enjoyed! 😊

[@shairacambara7795]

White rice😋😋😋. In my country🇵🇷 we add some tomato paste. If we do it like u too but we leave the veggies raw add some pitted olives and hint if white vinegar olive oil avocados the carabine ones not the little ones. We boil some root veg and green bananas and yummy😋😋😋💯💯💯. But yours look yummy too w heat.

[@deitrichewashington3043]

[@shezzaa7975]

It looks amazing and delicious! At which stage did you add the scotch bonnet?

[@cookingwithjaniel]

Sherene Alexander i added it after lol but usually it’s added in when you add your onion, bell peppers etc. 💕

[@kgbigmanmusic7507]

I too wondered about the scotch bonnet as it wasn't added in this video

[@geegeemelvelle6803]

Loved this recipe, have you heard of the oxtail pie.

Is this for breakfast or dinner? I know a lot of Jamaicans eat this for breakfast

[@cookingwithjaniel]

Both! 🤗😊

[@SeymourKitty]

What did you do with the scotch bonnet pepper?

[@cookingwithjaniel]

Seymour Kitty lol added it after because the person i was cooking for doesn’t like spice. It should be added in with the onions, bell peppers etc

[@SeymourKitty]

@@cookingwithjaniel ty. Figured that and thats what I did. Tha ks again.

[@eazzydrippcollections6128]

I love making salt fish. I normally make mine with rice

[@starrbright6423]

What if you don't have time to soak it for 2 hrs? Can you boil it for extra?

[@cookingwithjaniel]

Yes, you can boil it extra. But not too much to get rid of all the salt. You still want a bit of saltiness left in the dish.

[@starrbright6423]

I just try it with the blue package pollock! It come out GREAT! Thank you for your video love ❤😇🙂

[@younggeneration6716]

Looks tasty I would add 2 tomatoes

[@fitzroywilliams5411]
