Red fish in creamy sauce - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes! While red fish works great, you can substitute it with salmon, cod, or tilapia. Adjust cooking time slightly based on the thickness of the fish.
Cream cheese or grated Parmesan make good substitutes. For a lighter option, try Greek yogurt, but add it at the end to prevent curdling.
Replace cream with coconut milk and omit the cheese. Use olive oil for richness, and add a tablespoon of nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor if desired.
Try roasted asparagus, mashed cauliflower, or a crisp green salad. For carbs, serve with crusty bread, rice, or quinoa to soak up the sauce.
Yes! Assemble the fish with sauce up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerate. Add 5-10 minutes to baking time if cooking straight from the fridge.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to prevent the sauce from separating.
Freezing isn't ideal as the sauce may separate upon reheating. If necessary, freeze for up to 1 month and reheat slowly on the stovetop with a splash of cream.
For a thicker sauce, simmer longer or add a teaspoon of cornstarch slurry. To thin it, stir in a little broth or milk before baking.
Use 1/3 the amount of dried thyme, or substitute with dill, oregano, or a Italian seasoning blend for a different flavor profile.
