Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of fish instead of cod for this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute cod with other firm white fish such as haddock, pollock, or even halibut. Just ensure that the cooking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the fish.

What is the best way to store leftovers of this dish?

To store leftovers, let the dish cool down to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight container. It can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
