Directions

  1. Combine the salsa ingredients in a medium bowl.
  2. Combine the cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub mixture evenly over fish. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add half of the fish pieces and cook, turning once, until fish flakes easily with a fork, 6-8 minutes. Repeat with remaining fish.
