Time 18m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 pinch garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon celery seed
1 tablespoon kosher salt, or to taste
1 pound tilapia fillets
1 lemon, cut into wedges
4 slices white bread
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • In a small bowl or jar with a lid, make the spice blend. Mix together the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, white pepper, black pepper, cayenne pepper, oregano, thyme, celery seed and kosher salt. Coat the fish fillets with the spice mixture, and allow to sit at room temperature for no longer than 30 minutes.
  • Heat a heavy skillet over high heat. Add oil, and heat until it is almost smoking. Place the fillets in the pan, and cook for about 3 minutes per side, or until fish is opaque and can be flaked with a fork. Remove from the pan, and place onto slices of white bread. Pour pan juices over them and squeeze lemon juice all over. Do not underestimate the white bread. It gets quite tasty soaking up all the juices.

Tips:

  • For the blackened seasoning, use a combination of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt. You can adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your desired level of spiciness.
  • To ensure that the tilapia fillets are evenly blackened, make sure that the skillet is hot enough before adding the fish. You should hear a sizzle when the fish hits the skillet.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet when cooking the tilapia fillets. Otherwise, they will not cook evenly.
  • Serve the blackened tilapia with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or potatoes.

Conclusion:

Big Daddy's blackened tilapia with a little something extra is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The blackened seasoning gives the fish a slightly spicy and crispy crust, while the little something extra adds a touch of sweetness and acidity.
