French, Spanish, and Portuguese cooks work wonders with pungent salt cod, or cod that has been cured in salt. The process galvanizes the fish’s otherwise mild flavor and the results taste quite strong—strong enough that the fish is typically “cut” with milder ingredients. A classic example is brandade, which whips the fish with milk, mashed potatoes, and garlic.
