Ingredients

• White fish fillets (such as tilapia or cod) - 300 grams
• Tamarind paste - 2 tablespoons
• Honey - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lime juice - 1 tablespoon
• Chili powder - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Fresh cilantro (for garnish) - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. In a small bowl, mix the tamarind paste, honey, minced garlic, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the sauce.
2. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
3. Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
4. Once the oil is hot, add the fish fillets to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
5. Pour the tamarind sauce over the cooked fish in the skillet, allowing it to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
6. Remove from heat, and plate the fish, drizzling any remaining sauce over the top.
