For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of dried thyme or oregano to the spice mixture. Be careful not to overcook the fish, as it will become dry. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C). Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and your favorite sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
