For best results, use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The flavor will truly shine! Feel free to experiment with different types of white fish, such as cod, halibut, or tilapia. If you don't have fresh lime juice, bottled lime juice can be used, but the flavor will be slightly different. To add a touch of heat, include a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic powder. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley before serving for a pop of color and flavor.
