Ingredients to make microwave confit:
1. To cook the cod in the microwave it is necessary that it is defrosted first if you have bought it like that, but if you are going to confite the fresh cod then there is no problem. Just make sure that the cod is at its salt point, if you will not have to drop it first.
Trick: In principle, frozen cod already comes at its salt point and is cheaper than the fresco.

Trick: It is important to put the appliance with which we are going to gratin it with heat only by the top so that the cod to the microwave with mayonnaise does not pass us from cooking.
