Place in hot pan and cook for 2 minutes, then turn heat to medium and turn fish over and cook approximately 3 additional minutes.  Don’t overcook, fish is done when it flakes as you push down on it with spatula (may be slightly translucent in middle which will continue cooking for a minute or so after removing from heat).
