Jest Matcher error: received value must be a promise or a function returning a promise

I am a TDD practitioner and I am trying to implement an Exception.

Here is the test code:

  it.each([[{ id: '', token: '', skills: [''] }, 'Unknown resource']])(
    'should return an Exception when incorrect dto data',
    async (addSkillsDto: AddSkillsDto) => {
      await expect(() => {
        controller.addSkills(addSkillsDto)
      }).rejects.toThrow()
    }
  )

Here is the related code:

  @Post('candidate/add-skills')
  async addSkills(
    @Body() skills: AddSkillsDto,
  ): Promise<StandardResponseObject<[]>> {
    const data = await this.candidateService.addSkills(skills)
    console.log(data, !data)
    if (!data) throw new HttpException('Unknown resource', HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND)
    else
      return {
        success: true,
        data,
        meta: null,
        message: ResponseMessage.SKILLS_ADDED,
      }
  }

Here is the console output when running Jest:

● Candidate Controller › should return an Exception when incorrect dto data

    expect(received).rejects.toThrow()

    Matcher error: received value must be a promise or a function returning a promise

    Received has type:  function
    Received has value: [Function anonymous]

I am not sure what I am suppose to write to make it pass.
