Notes
- Heat the baking dish with olive oil beforehand to create a sizzling surface that helps develop a delicious crust on the fish.
- Choose fresh, firm white fish like cod or halibut that can withstand the high-temperature baking method without falling apart.
- For a low-carb and gluten-free option, this recipe naturally fits those dietary requirements without any modifications needed.
- Fresh herbs make a significant difference, so use fresh thyme instead of dried for brighter, more vibrant flavor in the final dish.
