1 Squeeze some calamansi or lemon juice. 

Citrus fruits can instantly make dishes delicious. It’s the flavor that can brighten the taste of any dish! It’s also the ingredient that many use to remove that unpleasant smell from fish as well as making it more flavorful. Give a few pieces of calamansi a squeeze over fish fillets together with salt and ground pepper, and a simply flavorful dish is ready in minutes. Dress it up with chopped parsley or even, chopped kangkong leaves that don’t need cooking!

2 Add a sweet and sour sauce. 

Sweet and sour is a flavor combination that is popular in Asian cuisine. Take advantage of our love for this contrast of flavors because it can be paired with anything! Plus, you can use a number of sweet and sour ingredients to make it taste just the way you like it.

To add sweet flavors, sugar is a natural choice but you can also use honey, corn syrup, or any other sweetener! For the sour flavor, vinegar is also the natural choice but pineapples are fantastic in giving both sweetness and tanginess that you might be looking for.

Mayonnaise is not just a sandwich spread! This versatile spread can be the ingredient that can make your dish super creamy without using milk. It’s an easy sauce to put together to spread on top of a simple steamed whole fish or you can mix it with some mustard, too, to give it an extra flavor.
