- If you prefer a spicier remoulade sauce, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce.
- To make the dish healthier, you can bake the fish fillets instead of frying them.
- Experiment with different types of fish, such as tilapia or sole, to vary the flavors.
- Serve the fish fillets with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a burst of citrus flavor.
