[Python] How to export plotly graphs in jupyter notebook as HTML?

y=simulation_results_df['expected_return'],
mode='markers',
name = "Simulated Portfolios",
hovertemplate="Expected Volatility/Risk: %{x}<br>Expected Return: %{y}<extra></extra>",
showlegend=True

fig.update_layout(
title="Simulated Portfolios",
xaxis_title="Expected Volatility/Risk",
yaxis_title="Expected Return",
