Prep
Pat the fish fillet dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper. Thinly slice the garlic and onion.

Sear
Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the fish fillet 2–3 minutes per side until golden and opaque at the edges.
3
Simmer
Add sliced garlic and onion to the skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes. Pour in chicken stock and lime juice, return the fish, and simmer over medium-low heat 4–5 minutes until the sauce reduces slightly.
4
Plate
Transfer the fish and sauce to a plate alongside the cooked white rice. Stir cilantro into the sauce and serve with lime wedges.
