Step 1
Pat the 1.5 lb fish fillets dry and season both sides with the 1 tsp salt. Juice 1 lime and slice the other into wedges for serving.
Step 2
Mince the 4 garlic cloves and finely chop the 2 red chili peppers (remove seeds for less heat).
Step 3
Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the garlic and chili, cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Place the fish in the skillet, skin-side down if applicable. Cook until golden and opaque, about 3-4 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
Step 5
Squeeze the lime juice over the fish, cook 1 minute more. Serve hot with lime wedges and extra chili if desired.
