This is a luxurious fish casserole with capers, a creamy lemony white sauce, served on a bed of vegetables. I used wild Alaskan cod in this recipe, but any type of white fish such as bass, grouper, halibut would work also.
Before pulling out of the oven, make sure the fish is cooked thoroughly by making sure it is flakey but be sure to not overcook it! Overcooked fish just doesn’t taste right.
