Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray.
Pat the fish fillets dry using paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a seasoning blend.
Brush or evenly rub the seasoning mixture over the top of each fish fillet, ensuring they are well coated.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the fish for 12-15 minutes, or until the fillets are opaque and flake easily with a fork.
Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Optional: Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
