Instructions

Pat the fish dry. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper then coat with cajun seasoning
In a large cast iron pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the seasoned fish and cook one side until brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
Flip the fish and cover the pan. Cook through until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, approximately 2 to 3 more minutes. Serve with a salad, on a fish taco bowl, or in a taco and enjoy!
