Blackened Fish

Ingredients

• •4 fish fillets (such as mahi-mahi or redfish), about 6 oz each
• •2 tablespoons paprika
• •1 tablespoon garlic powder
• •1 tablespoon onion powder
• •1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
• •1 teaspoon dried oregano
• •1 teaspoon dried thyme
• •1 teaspoon black pepper
• •1 teaspoon salt
• •4 tablespoons butter

Directions

1. 1Mix paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, oregano, thyme, black pepper, and salt in a small bowl to create the blackening seasoning.
2. 2Pat fish fillets dry with paper towels and coat both sides generously with the seasoning mixture.
3. 3Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until it is very hot, about 2-3 minutes.
4. 4Add butter to the skillet and swirl to coat evenly.
5. 5Place seasoned fish fillets in the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until a dark, crusty crust forms and the fish is cooked through.
6. 6Transfer fish to plates and serve immediately with lemon wedges.

💡 Blackening spices need a hot pan and dry fish. Moist fillets steam, while low heat leaves paprika tasting raw instead of toasted.
