For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of minced garlic to the skillet during the last minute of cooking. Serve with a side of creamy grits or rice to soak up the flavorful pan sauce. Feel free to experiment with other seasonings, such as Cajun spice or smoked paprika, for a different twist. If you're using skin-on fillets, score the skin lightly before searing to prevent curling.
