1 Soak the salted fish in water overnight to remove excess salt.

3 Sprinkle some crushed garlic and 1/2 teaspoon of berbere on each fish. Arrange slices from 1 tomato down the length of the fish and then sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of the peanut oil and some peanuts.

5 Serve hot on top of individual portions of flat bread.
