Frequently Asked Questions

What can I substitute for white wine in this recipe?

You can substitute the white wine with vegetable broth or chicken broth for a non-alcoholic option. Alternatively, you can use grape juice or apple cider vinegar mixed with a little water to mimic the acidity.

How should I store leftovers from the baked fish?

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or on the stovetop to avoid overcooking the fish.

What should I do if the fish is overcooked?

If the fish turns out overcooked, you can try serving it with a sauce or additional olive oil to add moisture. Alternatively, flake the fish and mix it into a salad or pasta dish for a different texture.
