Note

For best results, use white fish such as cod or tilapia. If using canned fish as suggested in some variations, drain thoroughly to avoid sogginess.

Serve with lime wedges and fresh cilantro for added brightness.

Leftover fish can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in an oven to maintain crispiness.
