Cumin and lime give the fish so much flavour! You can pan-fry the fish or grill it—whichever way you choose, you’ll come back for more.

Ingredients

  • 700 g white fish fillets (halibut, haddock, cod or tilapia)

  • 5 tbsp olive oil, divided

  • 4 tbsp lime juice

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 1⁄2 tsp ground cumin

  • 1 1⁄2 tsp sea salt

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • 1 tsp pepper

Instructions

  • Place fish in a large shallow baking dish; pour 3 tbsp oil and the lime juice overtop. Add garlic, cumin, salt, paprika and pepper. Gently rub marinade all over fish to coat; let stand for 10 min.

  • Heat remaining oil in a medium skillet set over medium-high. Discard marinade. Cook, 2 fillets at a time and turning once, until golden-brown and crispy, about 5 min per side. Transfer to a plate; cover loosely with foil.
