Notes

Feel free to substitute the cod with other firm white fish like salmon or haddock. Crème fraîche can be replaced with sour cream or heavy cream if needed. You can easily swap the vegetables for what's available in your fridge—broccoli, bell peppers, or spinach work well too! The dish can be prepared ahead of time; simply assemble and bake when ready. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for best results. Enjoy with a side of crusty bread or a green salad.
