FAQs
1. Can I use a different fish if I can’t find lingcod?
Yes! If you can’t find lingcod, feel free to substitute with other firm white fish like halibut, cod, rockfish, or haddock. They all share similar characteristics and will work beautifully in this recipe.
2. Can I make this recipe dairy-free?
You can swap the butter for a plant-based alternative like vegan butter to make the recipe dairy-free. However, the flavor may slightly differ.
3. What is the best way to store leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, gently warm the lingcod in a skillet over low heat to retain its texture and flavor.
4. Can I make this recipe in advance?
While the recipe is best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare the brown butter garlic sauce in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Reheat it gently before pouring it over the freshly pan-seared fish.
5. How can I add more heat to the recipe?
If you like your food spicier, simply increase the amount of chili flakes or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning.
