Notes
*Since the fish is cooked while boiling it to remove the salt, you don't need to cook it very long when you are sautéing it with the veggies.
*This is traditionally served over root vegetables, however can be served over rice or potatoes.
*If needed pour more oil over you root vegetables when served.
