Cod in marinade - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use haddock, tilapia, or pollock as alternatives to cod. Just ensure the fish fillets are of similar thickness for even cooking.
Replace the fish with thick slices of eggplant or portobello mushrooms. Adjust cooking times slightly as these may cook faster than fish.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop to preserve texture.
Yes, freeze before the final simmer step for best results. Thaw overnight in the fridge and simmer for 40 minutes when ready to serve.
For lighter version, bake the fish at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes instead of frying, and use just 1 tbsp oil for the vegetables.
Serve with steamed rice, boiled potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce. A fresh green salad complements it nicely.
Absolutely! Add 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes or a diced chili pepper when cooking the onion for some heat.
Double all ingredients but use a larger pan. Keep the same cooking times - just ensure fish isn't crowded in the pan.
Mix 1 tsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp cold water and stir into the simmering sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes until thickened.
Yes, replace 2 tbsp tomato paste with 1 cup diced tomatoes. Simmer longer (about 10 minutes) to reduce excess liquid.
