Ingredients:

- 2 fish fillets (such as tilapia, salmon, or cod)

- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter

- Salt and pepper (to taste)

- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

- Lemon wedges (for serving)

- Fresh herbs (like parsley or dill, optional)


   Instructions:

1. **Prep the Fish**: Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. This helps the fish sear better.

2. **Season**: Sprinkle both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using).

3. **Heat the Pan**: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium-high heat.

4. **Cook the Fish**: Once the oil is hot, add the fillets. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is golden brown.

5. **Serve**: Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with herbs, if desired.
