Storage & Freezing Tips

  • Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight glass container for up to 2 days.
  • Reheating: Warm gently in a skillet on medium-low heat with a lid to keep the fish tender. Avoid microwaving to prevent rubbery texture.
  • Freezing: We do not recommend freezing cooked fish as it degrades the texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I prevent the fish from sticking to the pan?▼

Ensure your baking dish is lightly oiled or lined with parchment paper, and make sure the oven is fully preheated before cooking.

Can I make this recipe with frozen fish?▼

Yes. Thaw the fish completely in the refrigerator overnight, then pat it dry thoroughly with a paper towel before adding seasonings.
