Ingredients

• Lime juice - 60 ml
• Olive oil - 30 ml

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine chopped cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes to create a marinade.
2. Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
