SALT COD FILETS AND OLIVES 
A day ahead, divide the salt cod into 6 large pieces, soak in a large quantity of water, changing it regularly and taking care that the salt cod never touches the base of the container, to prevent this from happening, place the cod on a rack in the water. Stone and chop the olives, thinly slice the onions and the garlic  Peel, seed and dice the tomatoes. Set aside. In a small saucepan, heat up the chopped olives in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, on a low heat. In a frying pan, soften the onions and garlic with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then place the salt cod fillets and cook for 5 minutes. Finish the cooking  by baking the fish in a hot oven (410 F) for 10 minutes. Transfer into a hot gratin dish, add the remaining olive oil, sprinkle with the diced tomatoes and serve the chopped olives on the side.
