Never heard of that before other than the old preserved fish of yesteryear google salt cod recipes an old scandinavian favourite.
I would suggest soaking the fillets in fresh water for quite some time maybe an hour or two.

Ok, so you are not looking for a 'salt fish recipe' (I do have - that is what my hubby does after Ramadan) - he does not like - it's overpowering!.You are obviously looking at 'toning it down' (lessening the salt).Others above have good advice I think.

The fillets where probably stored in salt water on the boat.
Potato can sometimes draw salt out of food. You could try poaching it with potato and throwing the potato away

Hey Golfer35,
It is a delicacy on its own! Just fry it and eat with rice congee.
Anyway, here's a Chinese recipe from me grandma's recipe book.
Cut about 150 to 200 gms of the salted fish in strips and low fry in a pan. Cut thinly slices of some fresh ginger (half a pinky -small last finger)
250 gms of chicken thighs or pork fingers (cut 1 cm slices). Marinate with 1 teaspoonful of sesame oil and one tablespoonful of cornflour and 1 tablespoonful of light soya sauce.
Mix all the ingredients above and steam for about 10 minutes.
Garnish with coriander or spring onion.
Serve with rice.
