💡 Chef’s Tips
- Choose fresh, sustainable fish for the best flavor and to support eco-friendly fishing practices.
- Don't overmarinate the fish, as the acidity in the lemon juice can start to cook the fish if left for too long.
- For an added layer of flavor, grill slices of lemon alongside the fish and serve them together.
📦 Storage Instructions
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to avoid drying out the fish.
