Soldaditos de Pavía (lit. Soldiers of Pavia) are a dish of fried cod wrapped in a slice of roasted red pepper. The dish is found in Andalusian cuisine and common at tapas bars in Madrid, capital of Spain. The cod is marinated in a paprika and lemon juice mix.[1] Before being fried, the pieces of cod can be placed in cold seasoned water and removed when the water begins to boil.[2] It's said to be a popular dish after Easter in the 1905 cookbook by Manuel Maria Puga y Parga.[3]

The name of the dish may be taken from the orange-red uniforms of the Hussars in reference to the similarity with the red pepper.[1]
