My husband will usually eat anything I put in front of him. He’ll at least give it a try. But one battle that I haven’t won is the fish battle. I think it was the fact that he was not raised eating fish or seafood, so he finds the concept very difficult to stomach.
That doesn’t stop me from making it for myself, though. One lovely quality of making fish is that it cooks up so quickly – I easily whipped up something less offensive for my husband to eat and made this all within 30 minutes. The flatbread pictured can be found here.

Notes
The fish cooks very quickly, making it a great option for a fast meal. You can substitute the flatbread with rice or salad for a different serving option. If you prefer less heat, adjust the amount of chile powder to taste. Store any leftover fish in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
