Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can substitute cod with other white fish such as haddock, tilapia, or halibut. Just ensure that the fish is flaky and will cook in a similar timeframe.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can reheat it in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
If your cod ends up overcooked and dry, you can remedy it by drizzling a bit of olive oil or lemon juice over the dish before serving. This will add moisture and enhance the flavor.
