  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

  5. Cover the skillet and let it cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Once done, remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
