A flavorful and easy-to-make dish featuring fish fillets seasoned with a zesty blend of spices, perfect for a quick and delicious meal.
Arrange the fish fillets in a single layer in a dish.
Ensure the fillets are not overlapping for even marination.
Squeeze the juice of the limes over the fish fillets.
Roll the limes on the counter before cutting to extract more juice.
Let the fish marinate in the lime juice for 15 minutes.
This step adds flavor and helps tenderize the fish.
In a bowl, mix the flour, taco seasoning, cumin, and cayenne.
Whisk the mixture to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Remove the fish from the lime juice and pat dry with paper towels.
Drying the fish ensures the coating adheres better.
Coat the fish fillets with the flour mixture evenly.
Press the fillets gently into the mixture for a thorough coating.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding the fish to prevent sticking.
Cook the fish fillets in the skillet for 6-8 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
Flip the fillets carefully to keep them intact.
Serve the fish fillets warm with your choice of sides.
Garnish with fresh lime wedges for an extra zesty touch.
