The coating can be modified to suit your palate. You could add a pinch of brown sugar, ground cumin or oregano. The more flour used, the lower the (chilli) heat.

Heat a non-stick frying pan until hot. Cook the fish for about 1-2 minutes each side depending on the thickness. If preferred, you can add a teaspoon of oil to the pan but the fish won't be as black.
