BLACKENED FISH

If you like red snapper, then use it here - I think it's fabulous. The spice rub can be used on anything - it's the best I've ever tasted! I make 3 fillets for 2 people because it's so good!

Time 10m

Yield 3 fillets

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon cayenne
2 teaspoons paprika
1 -1 1/2 teaspoon salt (based on preference)
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon cumin
3 fish fillets (I love red snapper, but use anything you like)
2 tablespoons melted butter
cooking oil
lemon wedge

Steps:

  • Mix first 8 ingredients together, and drench the fish in the mixture.
  • Drizzle with melted butter and sauté in a very hot (not burning), heavy (cast iron!) skillet until blackened, only a few minutes per side.
  • Turn and repeat on other side.
  • Serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • To achieve a perfectly blackened crust, ensure your skillet is screaming hot before adding the fish. You can test the temperature by flicking a few drops of water onto the pan's surface. If the water immediately sizzles and evaporates, the pan is ready.
  • To prevent sticking, make sure the fish is patted dry before searing. Excess moisture can cause the fish to steam rather than sear, resulting in a pale and soggy crust.
  • Use a sturdy fish spatula to flip the fish. A flimsy spatula may break under the fish's weight, causing it to fall apart.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you're cooking multiple pieces of fish, make sure there's enough space between them so they can sear properly.
  • Let the fish rest before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the fish, resulting in a more flavorful and moist bite.

Conclusion:

Blackened orange is a delicious and versatile dish perfect for any occasion. With its bold flavors and crispy crust, it's sure to impress your guests. Whether you're cooking it for a weeknight dinner or a special event, this recipe is sure to become a favorite.
