Ingredients:
For the Fish:
- 4 fish fillets (such as tilapia, cod, or any white fish)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
For the Fish:
- In a small bowl, combine paprika, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Rub the spice mixture evenly over the fish fillets. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to marinate.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Place the fish fillets in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and flake easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your fillets.
- Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside.
For the Okra:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in another skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the spices become fragrant.
- Add the trimmed okra to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes or until the okra is tender and slightly browned.
To Serve:
Plate the cooked fish and spoon the okra mixture over the top. You can garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley if desired. Serve your fish and okra dish with rice, couscous, or flatbread for a complete meal.
