From Nonna Adele’s kitchen
LET’S GET COOKING
Use salt cod that is already desalted and ready to cook. Remove any visible bones.
Bring a saucepan of water with half the lemon to a gentle boil. Add the cod and cook for about 15 minutes, depending on its thickness: the flesh should be opaque and flake easily, or reach 63 °C at the centre.
Wash and dry the radicchio and salad leaves. Arrange on a plate and dress with oil, chopped parsley and garlic, and the juice of the remaining half lemon.
Carefully drain the fish and place it on the salad. Add the olives and taste before adding any salt.
