Method

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 200C (180C fan, gas 6). Drain the soaked salt cod, pat dry, poach for 8 minutes until it flakes easily, then flake, discarding any skin and bone.

  2. 2

    Heat the olive oil in a pan and soften the onion and garlic for 7 minutes, then stir in the flaked salt cod and warm through.

  3. 3

    Spread the fish mixture in a baking dish and pipe or spoon the mashed potato around the edge.

  4. 4

    Spread the mayonnaise over the fish and scatter with the olives.

  5. 5

    Bake for 15-18 minutes until the top is golden and the mash is lightly browned at the edges.
