For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of dry white wine to the baking dish before covering it with foil.
Fresh basil can be substituted for dried basil; use about 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh basil.
Feel free to experiment with other types of fish, such as cod, haddock, or tilapia. Adjust baking time accordingly.
A sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese during the last few minutes of baking can add a delightful nutty flavor.
