Sweet & Savory Tuesday ~~ Zesty Cod Fillets

INGREDIENTS: 

• 3 Tbsp. olive oil
• 3 Tbsp. diced garlic
• 2 - 6 oz. cod fillets
• 1 tsp. cumin
• 1 tsp. chili powder
• 2 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper
• salt, optional

DIRECTIONS:

• Saute garlic in olive oil.
• Sprinkle fillets with salt and pepper.
• Cook 2-3 minutes over medium heat.
• Pour one Tbsp. of the lime juice over fillets.
• Mix cumin and chili powder together and sprinkle 1/2 of mixture over fillets.
• Cook 3-4 minutes over medium heat.
• Flip fillets to other side and pour remaining lime juice over fillets.
• Sprinkle remaining cumin and chili powder mixture on top of fillets.
• Cook 2-3 minutes or until cod fillets flake easily.
• Serve over rice and with garnishes of your choice.  I used sliced tomatoes, red bell pepper slices, and sliced hard boil eggs dusted with hot Hungarian paprika.

Sometimes it's a great adventure and lots of fun to experiment with new spice combinations when preparing your entree, especially fish!
