1 tablespoon of salt

For the sauce
1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano (optional)
1/2 cup of butter (100g)
Preheat the oven to 250°C (very hot)
In a baking dish, place the cod in the preheated oven until it's tender (around 1 hour and 10 minutes)
Remove the pulp from the skin with a spoon and pass through a sieve over a bowl, squeezing slowly to remove excess liquid
In a large pot, bring 5 liters of water to a boil at high heat
Process the ricotta cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese (reserve 1 1/2 tablespoons for dusting), flour, salt, and nutmeg in a processor until you get a smooth mixture
Add the panned cod and mix with a wooden spoon until you get a homogeneous mass
Remove portions of the dough equivalent to 1/2 tablespoon and add them slowly to the boiling water
As they rise to the surface, remove them with a skimmer and reserve in a large serving dish
Prepare the sauce: in a small pot, bring the oregano and butter to a boil at high heat for about 3 minutes
Pour over the cod cakes and mix delicately
Dust with reserved Parmesan cheese and serve immediately
