For a spicier kick, use a salsa with habanero or jalapeño peppers. Feel free to substitute other white fish like tilapia or halibut. Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice over the finished dish for a burst of citrus flavor. Garnish with chopped cilantro for added freshness. For a lower-carb option, skip the corn chips and top with a sprinkle of chili powder and smoked paprika.
