🐟Fish🥛Milk🌰Sesame🌱Soy🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For a fish-free version, swap the tilapia for firm tofu or chickpeas and keep the same bright seasoning profile. For soy or sesame concerns, use coconut aminos instead of soy-style seasoning and skip sesame toppings or oil, finishing with extra lime.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp cucumber salad or steamed edamame to add freshness and keep the meal balanced. A light fruit dessert, like pineapple or orange segments, also works well with the zesty, savory flavors.
