HOW TO MAKE BAKED COD RICE

Cook the cod in a saucepan with water. When the cod is cooked, drain it with a skimmer and let cool slightly. Remove the skin and bones and flake the cod with a fork; set aside. Cook the eggs in another saucepan. When the eggs are cooked, peel them and cut into round slices; set aside.
In a saucepan, add the olive oil, chopped onion, chopped garlic and the bay leaf. Sauté over low heat until the onion start to turn slightly golden. Add the flaked cod and season with some pepper. Stir with a wooden spoon and cook over low heat about 5 minutes.

Then, add the rice and season with a little salt. Mix the rice and the cod and fry for 1 minute. Pour the water (enough water to completely cover the mixture) and boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to low heat and cook for about 10 to 12 minutes. Turn off the heat, sprinkle with chopped coriander and mix in the rice (remove the bay leaves).
Place the mixture in a baking pan and garnish with the egg slices. Brush with beaten egg yolk and bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Turn off the oven and serve.

Then, add the rice and season with a little salt. Mix the rice and the cod and fry for 1 minute. Pour the water (enough water to completely cover the mixture) and boil over medium-high heat.
