Notes

• This method works well for most white fish, including cod, halibut, haddock, branzino, sea bass, or sole. Thicker fillets may need an extra minute or two of cooking time.

• White fish benefits from gentle cooking and simple seasoning. Finish with lemon juice, fresh herbs, cherry tomatoes, or a light sauce after cooking.
