Tips for Experienced Cooks

Experiment with different types of fish to find your favorite flavor profile. Consider using a fish like salmon for a richer taste or tilapia for a milder option. When seasoning the fish, feel free to adjust the spice ratios or add new ones like cumin or coriander for a personalized flavor twist. To enhance the dish's presentation, consider garnishing with a variety of herbs beyond parsley, such as dill or chervil, and adding a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving for a fresh zing.

  • Mixed vegetables
