Prepare the Pasta

Cook your preferred style of pasta according to package instructions until it is al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving some pasta water for sauce, if desired.

Prepare the Fish

Season the fish fillet (e.g., cod, tilapia, or sea bass) with salt, pepper, and any other desired herbs and spices. Heat a pan over medium-high heat with a small amount of cooking oil or butter. When the oil is hot, gently place the fish in the pan, cooking for a few minutes on each side until the fish is opaque throughout and easily flakes with a fork. Remove from heat and set aside.

Combine and Serve

If desired, lightly toss the cooked pasta in a pan with a touch of cooking oil or butter, your preferred herbs and spices, and a splash of reserved pasta water to achieve a silky texture. Plate the pasta, topping it with the grilled or roasted fish. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
