Ingredients

• 4 fillets (about 6 oz each) White fish fillets (such as tilapia, cod, or snapper)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 0 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to make a marinade.

Step 3

Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Use your hands or a spoon to coat each fillet evenly. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let the fish marinate in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using an outdoor grill, lightly oil the grates or coat them with cooking spray to prevent the fish from sticking.

Step 5

Once the grill is hot, place the marinated fish fillets on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6

Remove the fish from the grill and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.

Step 7

Serve immediately with steamed vegetables, a fresh salad, or a side of brown rice for a nutritious and satisfying meal.
