Frequently Asked Questions

What can I substitute for cod if I can't find it?

If you can't find cod, you can substitute it with other firm white fish like haddock, pollock, or tilapia. Just make sure to adjust cooking times if the thickness of the fish differs.

How do I store leftovers of the roasted cod and potatoes?

To store leftovers, let them cool to room temperature, then place them in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to 2 months.

What should I do if the potatoes aren't cooked through after baking?

If the potatoes aren't cooked through after baking, you can cover the baking pan with aluminum foil and return it to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes. Check them frequently to avoid overcooking.
