Preparation

  1. Desalt & cook the cod (make ahead): Soak dried stoccafisso under cold water for 3 days, changing the water twice daily and keeping it refrigerated. Gently poach until flaky. Cool and flake.
  2. Whip the filling: Blend the cod with olive oil (and a spoon of cream if using) until silky. Adjust with a splash of poaching liquid for a spreadable consistency. Season with a touch of lemon zest and black pepper.
  3. Assemble: Spread the whipped stoccafisso onto one bread slice. Top with arugula and olives; close with the second slice.
  4. Grill: Brush both sides with olive oil and grill in a pan or press until golden and crisp.
  5. Serve: Trim edges, cut into small triangles, stand pieces vertically, and garnish with a fine “diamond” of red bell pepper and a drizzle of olive oil.
