Tips & Substitutions
For a crispier texture, consider using panko breadcrumbs instead of regular dry bread crumbs. If you want to reduce sodium, opt for low-sodium soy sauce or substitute it with coconut aminos. Adjust the orange juice concentrate to taste, or try fresh orange juice for a brighter flavor. This dish pairs well with a light salad or steamed vegetables.

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover fish in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the fish in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes or until heated through. Avoid microwaving as it can make the fish rubbery.
