Tips for the baked fish recipe

• Experiment with different white fish: cod, halibut, haddock, or tilapia…
• To ensure the fish bakes evenly, try to choose fillets that are similar in size and thickness. If you have varying sizes, adjust the cooking time accordingly.
• For a crisp and flavorful crust, broil the fish for one or two minutes after baking to give it a golden brown finish.

Can I use frozen fish for this recipe?

Yes, frozen fish can be used for this recipe. Just make sure to fully thaw it before baking for even cooking.

Can I substitute the butter for a healthier alternative?

For a healthier option, you can use olive or coconut oil instead of butter. However, this may slightly alter the flavor of the baked fish.

Can I make this ahead of time and reheat it?

While baked fish is best when served straight out of the oven, you can prep it a few hours ahead and refrigerate it until ready to bake. Just make sure to keep it covered until you’re ready to bake.
