    1/2 tsp red pepper
    1/2 tsp white pepper
    1/2 tsp paprika
    1/2 tsp onion powder
    1 tsp garlic powder



Directions

Spray shallow pan heavily with cooking spray, or heat some olive oil. In small bowl, mix syrup and spices. Spread over fish. Place fish in pan and saute for 3-5 minutes on one side. Flip and cook until done.
