- If you prefer, you can substitute butter with olive oil for a lighter version.
- Adding a fried egg is optional but enhances the dish with extra protein and richness.
- For a spicier twist, add a pinch of cayenne pepper along with paprika.
- Make sure not to overcook the fish to keep it tender and moist.
