The type of buttery spread used can significantly impact the flavor. Experiment to find your favorite!
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is highly recommended for superior flavor and texture.
Be vigilant while broiling, as the topping can burn quickly. Keep a close eye on the fish.
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the Parmesan cheese mixture.
Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
