Ideas And Tips:

• Instead of garlic powder, you can add finely minced fresh garlic cloves.
• The thicker your fish fillet, the longer it cooks. It is advisable to slice your fillets thin so that it easily cooks and it becomes slightly crunchy on the outside.

• You can make a dip made out of mayonnaise, sour cream, or yogurt and garnish with herbs.
