For a richer flavor, consider using bone-in, skin-on fish fillets. The bones add depth to the sauce. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your spice preference. Start with less and add more as needed. Feel free to experiment with other vegetables, such as zucchini, carrots, or potatoes, for added texture and flavor. This dish is best served immediately, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
