Chef's Tips

Use a dry white wine you would enjoy drinking, as the flavor concentrates during the braising process. If the fish is very thick, you may need an extra minute of simmering time.
↔

Easy Substitutions

Substitute cod with other firm white fish like halibut or haddock. If you prefer to avoid alcohol, replace the wine with an equal amount of additional vegetable broth plus an extra teaspoon of lemon juice.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a pan over low heat with a splash of water to prevent the fish from drying out.
