• You can add a squeeze of lemon juice to the sauce for extra tanginess.
• Make sure to cook the fish on medium heat to prevent it from sticking to the pan.

• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Reheat the fish and sauce in a pan over low heat until warmed through.
• Serve the fish with tomato-chilli sauce as a main dish with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
