Steps

1. Rinse the bonito fish under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
2. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika to create a marinade.
3. Place the bonito fish in the marinade and let it sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

5. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated bonito fish to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
