For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the spice blend. If using frozen redfish, ensure it's fully thawed and patted dry before cooking for best results. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preferred level of spice. Serve with a side of rice and your favorite vegetables for a complete meal. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice brightens the flavors just before serving.
