- 4 fillets white fish fillets (tilapia, cod, or haddock)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Pat the fish fillets dry using paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Brush both sides of the fish fillets lightly with olive oil.
Sprinkle the Cajun spice mixture evenly over both sides of the fish fillets, pressing gently to adhere the spices.
