Quickly sear the fish fillets, then keep them moist by reducing the heat. Top them with a mild zing of jalapeño and a splash of fresh lime—that’s dinner in a snap!

Serves 4; 3 ounces fish per serving
Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
In a small bowl, stir together the paprika, pepper, and salt. Sprinkle over one side of each fillet. Using your fingertips, gently press the mixture so it adheres to the fish.
Step 2
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the fish with the seasoned side down for 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium. Turn the fish over. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until it flakes easily when tested with a fork. Remove from the heat.
Step 3
Meanwhile, in another small bowl, stir together the jalapeño, cilantro, and margarine. Using the back of a spoon, spread the jalapeño mixture over the seasoned side of the fish. Squeeze the lime over the fish. Serve with the seasoned side up.
