Experiment with different herbs and spices to suit your taste—dill and parsley pair beautifully with the fish. Additionally, if you're looking for more Cajun flair, add some sliced sausage or shrimp to the recipe! Remember to adjust the cayenne pepper to control the heat level according to your preference.
