Directions:
1. In a small bowl combine marinade ingredients. Coat fish and allow to marinate for 5 minutes NOT LONGER.
2. Heat non-stick fry pan on high until hot (2-3 minutes) add oil, swirl once or twice and add fish fillets. Lower heat to medium high and sprinkle with Cajun spice to taste.

Halibut or other firm-fleshed fish works well too.
