For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or a dash of smoked paprika. Fresh herbs such as parsley, dill, or thyme can be added after baking for a vibrant finishing touch. To ensure even cooking, select fillets of similar thickness. Swai cooks quickly; avoid overbaking to maintain its delicate texture.
