Ingredient substitutions

Cod fillet

Pollock fillet: Use only if cod is unavailable; bake to the same flaky texture.

Yellow cheese

Edam cheese: Edam is a classic mild yellow cheese choice for this Polish-style bake.

Sour cream

Thick sour cream: Use a spoonable sour cream so the topping stays creamy over the fish.

Onion

Smaller onion: Use enough thin rings to cover the top lightly.

Butter

Sunflower oil: Use to grease the dish if avoiding butter, though the flavor will be less rich.
