2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp sweet paprika
A pinch of chili flakes (optional)

Desalt the cod (if salted): The day before, place the cod in a large container of cold water and let it soak for 12 to 24 hours, changing the water every 6 hours. Drain and cut the cod into pieces.
