Greek Cod (Bakaliaros) With Garlic Sauce (Skordalia)

This fish dish is normally accompanied by garlic sauce (skordalia) and beetroot. What you see in the photo may look like mashed potatoes, but is the skordalia. The photo shows the fish called galeos, but this is most likely unobtainable abroad, so as it belongs to the cod family, we have given the recipe using cod below. It is very easy to prepare and is similar to fish croquettes.

To make the skordalia and beetroot, please go to a previous post here which gives the recipe.
