Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Cut the white fish fillets into 2-inch cubes and add them to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
