Frequently Asked Questions
You can substitute fish fillets with other types of fish such as salmon, cod, or tilapia. If you're looking for a non-fish option, you could use chicken breast or tofu, but make sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the fish in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) until warmed through, or microwave on a low setting.
If your fish isn't browning, ensure your oven is at the correct temperature. You can also use the broil setting for a few minutes after baking to achieve a golden finish, but watch closely to avoid burning.

Portuguese: Vinho Verde - This refreshing and slightly effervescent wine pairs beautifully with fish, enhancing its delicate flavors.
