Instructions
1. Combine all dry spices in a shallow pan or dish (a pie plate works well).
2. Coat filets with the spice blend evenly on all sides.
3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, and spray generously with nonstick spray.
4. Place filets in the skillet and cook for at least 3 minutes without moving. While fish is cooking, drizzle lemon juice over filets. Flip filets and cook for approximately 2 to 3 minutes longer or until fish is flaky and white with a golden exterior. Drizzle with more lemon juice.
5. Remove from heat and plate fish. Top with freshly chopped green onions if desired, and serve along side a salad for healthy and delicious meal.
