For an extra burst of flavor, zest the lemon before juicing and add the zest to the dish. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days; reheat gently to maintain texture. This dish is versatile and pairs well with rice, pasta, or salad. Consider adding red pepper flakes for heat or substituting lime juice for a different twist. Enjoy!
