A quick appetizer that is simple and tasty with frozen cod and a few other ingredients, a seafood salad you can also enrich with olives, celery dice, and … more!
The quick cod and cherry tomato salad can, or rather should, be made in advance to amplify the flavors.
I used pickled capers, but in my opinion, the more flavorful caper berries are even better, but as always … the final choice is yours!
Instead of cod, a great choice would be to use hake… maybe still frozen, why not??
I also suggest other fish recipes such as:

Ingredients for QUICK COD AND CHERRY TOMATO SALAD

- as needed basil
- as needed extra virgin olive oil
- as needed salt and pepper
FOR THE PREPARATION OF QUICK COD AND CHERRY TOMATO SALAD
Personally, I preferred to buy frozen fish which I boiled for the time recommended on the package itself.
Then let it cool in a bowl and prepare the dressing.
Wash and dry the cherry tomatoes.
Cut them into wedges and rinse the pickled capers.
Combine them in a bowl with the shredded cod hearts, but not too much, otherwise it would be an unsightly mess!
Mix the salad and dress everything with the extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, and a generous amount of fresh basil.
A rich, nutritious, super quick appetizer …
Enjoy your meal!

This fish recipe is very simple and tasty, and we can prepare it with other white fish fillets like hake, and it can be either an appetizer or a true second course!
