This is a forgiving recipe and the seasonings can easily be adjusted to your taste. Try using your favorite herbs such as sage, chives, or tarragon in place of the ones suggested in the recipe.

Instead of the lemon-herb flavor profile, ginger, sesame oil, chili flakes, and lime juice could be used instead.
