Notes
Feel free to experiment with different herbs such as dill or parsley for a varied taste profile! This dish also works well with different fish, like trout or tilapia. If you're looking to make it ahead of time, you can prepare everything in the baking dish and refrigerate it until you're ready to bake—that makes for a super easy evening meal! Simply add a few extra minutes to the cooking time if baking straight from the fridge. Enjoy cooking and don’t hesitate to get creative!
