- to make salt cod, sprinkle a good layer of mild rock salt such as sel de camargue in a plastic container. Put a piece of thick-cut line caught cod on top, skin-side down. Cover with a thick layer of salt and leave in the fridge for 24 hours. Rinse off the salt and soak in cold water for 12-24 hours. Blot dry on kitchen paper.
