Here in Florida fresh fish is pretty easy to find. If you are lucky, you have your own fresh caught fish from a day of fruitful fishing. Whether you caught it yourself or not, this dish is an excellent use for that fillet.

 Ingredients

•  3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
• Juice of 1 lime
• 2 tsp. chili powder
