  • Get the ingredients ready. Hard-boil the egg in salted water (the salt helps keep the shell from cracking) for about 12 minutes — cooked through but not overcooked, so the yolk doesn't take on an unattractive gray-blue tinge. Drain the hot water and cover the egg with cold water so it's easy to peel. Peel the egg and press it through an egg slicer or grate it on the fine side of a grater. Peel the onion and finely chop it. A sweet salad onion is nice here, with little to no sharpness, but a regular onion works too — just soften its bite by quick-pickling it in apple cider vinegar or pouring boiling water over it (then draining it in a colander). Open the can of cod liver and mash it with a fork, oil and all. Grate the hard cheese on the fine side of a grater. In a deep bowl, combine the egg, cod liver, and onion. People often dress cod liver salads with mayonnaise, but since the canned liver already contains oil, go easy on it — better yet, use mustard instead, which beautifully brings out the flavors. Stir everything together with the dressing. The spread is ready; chill it in the fridge and serve with a baguette, white bread, or crackers. Enjoy! Cod liver is very nourishing — it's rich in amino acids and omega-3 fats, plus vitamins A, E, D, and B, and minerals like potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, copper, and sodium. It supports heart health, boosts the immune system, and may help guard against cancer. It's also good for your skin, vision, hair, teeth, and nails.
