Morphology
The meaning 'cod preserved by salting and drying' is directly and compositionally derived from combining 'salt' (seasoning/preservative) with 'cod' (the fish); the modifier indicates the cod has been treated with salt. This noun–noun compound is a common, cross-linguistic culinary pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both words would grasp the basic meaning even if they might not know specific culinary practices like soaking before cooking.
Etymology
The noun salt cod comes from the old practice of packing cod in lots of salt, so the fish dried and could be kept for a long time. So, salt cod means 'cod preserved by salting and drying', and it is often soaked before cooking to remove the extra salt.
