For a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. Fresh herbs like basil or oregano, chopped and stirred in at the end, add a bright, aromatic finish. If fresh corn is not available, you can substitute frozen corn kernels. Add them directly to the sauce without thawing. To ensure even cooking, choose tilapia fillets that are of similar thickness. This dish can also be made with other types of white fish, such as cod or snapper. Adjust cooking time accordingly.
