Instructions
Creating Chili Lime Fish is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
2. Marinate the Fish: Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
3. Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Allow it to get hot before adding the fish.
4. Cook the Fish: Place the marinated fish fillets in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side until golden brown.
5. Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip the fillets and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
6. Garnish: Remove the fish from the skillet and transfer it to a serving platter. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
These steps will guide you in creating an incredible Chili Lime Fish dish effortlessly.
