Note

Use firm white fish such as cod, tilapia, or halibut for best results.

Adjust the amount of hot pepper sauce to suit your preferred level of spiciness.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to prevent the fish from breaking apart.

For a richer flavor, you can substitute the water with chicken broth.
