Instructions
  1. Heat the oil and when it's hot, saute the garlic for a couple of minutes - don't let it brown.
  2. Add the fish strips and season with lemon pepper, salt and pepper.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium-high and cook for 3 minutes.
  4. Add the chopped peppers, cilantro, lime juice and zest to the fish and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 more minutes.
