Step 3
Rinse the cod fillet, though you can use any other white fish such as pollock or hake. Cut the fillet into pieces and, when the water comes to a boil, place them into the pot. Cook for about 15 minutes, until done. Optionally, you can salt the water and add lemon juice.

Remove the cooked fish with a slotted spoon and let it cool down enough to comfortably pick through and remove the bones, then flake the fish with a fork.

The salad can be left to marinate or served immediately. I suggest serving it on toasted bread with a piece of butter and a slice of lemon. This salad will also look great in tartlets, garnished with red caviar.
