Prepare the Fish Fillet

Create the Spice Rub

In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme. Mix well to create a flavorful spice rub.

Coat the Fish Fillet

Take the prepared spice rub and evenly coat both sides of the fish fillet. Gently press the rub onto the surface of the fillet to ensure it sticks.

Heat the Pan

Place a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil and let it heat up.

Pan-sear the Fish Fillet

Carefully place the spice-coated fish fillet into the hot pan, skin side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin becomes crispy and golden brown. Flip the fillet using a spatula and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side.
