- 1 large Lime(cut into wedges)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley(chopped, for garnish)

Cook for about 3-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is golden brown and cooked through. The exact time will depend on the thickness of the fillets.

Remove the fish from the skillet and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
