Notes
- Choosing skin-on fillets is recommended for the best flavor and presentation.
- Maple syrup or agave nectar can be used as a substitute for honey.
- Meyer lemons provide a sweeter taste compared to regular lemons.
- For added crunch, bok choy or celery can replace fennel.
- Crushed red pepper flakes can be used in place of the fresh chili for heat.
