Notes

Use any firm, mild white fish—cod, mahi-mahi, or tilapia work well.For extra flavor, marinate the fish in the seasoning for 15–30 minutes before cooking.Make it low-carb by using cauliflower rice or leafy greens as the base.For meal prep, store components separately and assemble just before eating.Add a drizzle of creamy cilantro-lime sauce for a fresh kick.
