Preparation
- Step 1
Combine oil and garlic in a large skillet, and turn heat to medium. Add anchovies, and cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic is lightly golden and anchovies are broken up, less than 5 minutes. Raise heat to medium-high, and add tomatoes, along with a little salt and pepper. Cook a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes liquefy.
- Step 2
Add capers, olives, pepper flakes and cod. Cook about 10 minutes, stirring infrequently and gently, until cod is hot. Taste, and adjust seasoning. Garnish, and serve.

This was delicious and easy, like so many of Mark Bittman's recipes! I soaked the salt cod for about 48 hours and changed the water a few times. Otherwise, I followed the recipe very closely and served it with mashed potatoes. I used a large piece of cod, so there was a lot left over; it was equally delicious left over and served over spaghetti. Definitely a keeper!
Delicious! Served with polenta as suggested by a previous commenter
Delicious. Love this recipe. Maybe throw the olives in early if you like them a bit softer if yours are stiff. That works well for me.
Served over polenta… delicious almost puttanesca in flavor, and so easy!
