Think of this recipe as a base for all future slow-cooked fish recipes. Feel free to switch up the citrus you use, or lose it all together! You could make a bed of sliced onions or leeks instead, or throw in some aromatics like rosemary or thyme. Swap out lemon juice and broth for white wine and melted butter. Do you!
