Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preference for heat.
Toasted cashews add even more flavor! Toast them lightly in a dry pan over medium heat for a few minutes before chopping.
Serve with a side of rice or quinoa to soak up the delicious sauce.
A squeeze of fresh lime juice just before serving brightens the flavors even more.
Make sure to not overcook the fish, the fish will become dry and rubbery.
