Quick, easy and delicious!

1 pound halibut fillets, sliced 1/2-inch thick
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons white pepper
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons thyme
2 teaspoons oregano
1 teaspoon paprika

Place halibut in a bowl with olive oil and let stand for 30 minutes.  Combine spices in a 9-inch pie plate.  Heat a cast-iron skillet upside down over a high heat 5 - 10 minutes, or until very hot.  Using a hot pad, turn pan right side up.  Remove halibut from olive oil and drain.  Dip fillets into seasonings and coat each side evenly.  Put fillets into hot skillet and cook 2 - 3 minutes on each side, turning only once.

Variations:  Substitute bass, snapper or red fish for halibut.
