  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Whisk the spice mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Prep the fish: Pat the fish fillets dry, rub with vegetable oil, and coat with the spice mixture.
  3. Sauté the fish: Heat a large skillet over medium heat, cook the seasoned fish for 3-4 minutes per side until opaque, then flake into bite-sized pieces.
