• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

3. Rub the spice mixture over the fish fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.
4. Drizzle the olive oil over the fish and place it on the grill or skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
