• Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix chipotle peppers, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Add the fish fillets to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes.
3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little olive oil. Once hot, add the marinated fish fillets.
4. Cook the fish for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until it flakes easily with a fork.
