So this makes for a perfect brunch salad.

Warm salad with salted cod, potatoes, sun-dried tomatoes and olives
This is one of my favorites. I love the combination of the fish from my Atlantic Ocean together with the mediterranean flavors: tomatoes and olives. The potatoes are then a fantastically universal ingredient.
