Bakalar, also known as dried salted cod, is a traditional ingredient widely used in Croatian and Mediterranean cuisines. This preserved fish undergoes a drying and salting process that intensifies its flavor and prolongs shelf life. Typically rehydrated before cooking, bakalar serves as a key component in dishes such as stews, salads, and spreads. Nutritionally, it is an excellent source of lean protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins B12 and D, and essential minerals like iodine and selenium, supporting muscle health, brain function, and immunity. However, due to the high salt content from the preservation process, careful preparation is needed to reduce sodium levels, making it suitable for heart-conscious diets. Bakalar is celebrated for its versatility, rich history, and health benefits, but moderation is key for those watching their sodium intake.
