PAUL PRUDHOMME'S BLACKENED REDFISH



Paul Prudhomme's Blackened Redfish image

The chef Paul Prudhomme's recipe for blackened redfish once became a national craze. Mr. Prudhomme dipped redfish fillets in butter, dusted them with ground cayenne and a mix of dried herbs, and seared them in a red-hot iron skillet until a black crust formed. The dish became so popular that the redfish population in the Gulf of Mexico came under threat. You could use fluke, flounder or porgy, instead. Any firm white-fleshed fish will do.

Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon paprika
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cayenne
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, melted
6 skinless redfish, pompano or tilefish fillets, or other firm-fleshed fish, each 8 to 10 ounces and about 1/2 inch thick

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the paprika, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, thyme and oregano. Mix well. Set aside.
  • Place a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot, about 10 minutes. It will get smoky, so turn on the exhaust fan and turn off the smoke detector.
  • Meanwhile, pour 2 tablespoons of melted butter in each of 6 small ramekins; set aside and keep warm. Pour the remaining butter into a shallow bowl. Dip each fillet in the butter so that both sides are well coated. Sprinkle the spice mix generously and evenly on both sides of the fish, patting it on by hand.
  • When the skillet is heated, place the fillets inside without crowding and top each with 1 teaspoon of melted butter. Cook, uncovered, until the underside looks charred, about 2 minutes. Turn the fillets over and again pour 1 teaspoon of butter on top; cook until done, about 2 minutes more. Transfer to warmed plates and repeat with the remaining fish. Serve immediately, with a ramekin of butter on each plate.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 pound (3 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
Six 8- to 10-ounce Catfish fillets (or other firm-fleshed fish), 1/2-inch thick
3 tablespoons Chef Paul Prudhomme's Blackened Redfish Magic (or substitute)
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
2 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground red pepper
3/4 teaspoon white pepper
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves

Steps:

  • The fillets should be at room temperature. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over very high heat until it is beyond the smoking stage and you see white ash in the skillet bottom, at least for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, pour 2 tablespoons melted butter in each of 6 small ramekins; set aside and keep warm. Reserve the remaining butter. Heat the serving plates in a 250-degree oven. Dip each fillet in the reserved melted butter so that both sides are well coated. Then, mix thoroughly all the spices for blackening mixture and sprinkle the Blackening Spice Mixture generously and evenly on both sides of the fillets. Place 1 or 2 fillets in skillet and cook uncovered over very high heat until the underside becomes deep brown, almost black (but not burned), about 2 minutes (the time may vary according to the fillet's thickness and the heat of the skillet). Turn the fish over and pour 1 teaspoon of butter on top of each. Cook until fish is done, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining fillets. Serve each fillet while hot. To serve, place 1 fillet and a ramekin of butter on each plate.

Steps:

  • NOTE: Fish fillets (preferably redfish, pompano or tilefish) cut about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Redfish and pompano are ideal for this method of cooking.
  • If tilefish is used, you may have to split the fillets in half horizontally to have proper thickness.
  • If you can't get any of these fish, salmon steaks or red snapper fillets can be substituted.
  • In any case, the fillets or steaks must not be more than 3/4 inch thick.
  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet over very high heat until it is beyond the smoking stage and you see white ash in the skillet bottom (the skillet cannot be too hot for this dish), at least 10 minutes. (FT - this recipe is *NOT* for the faint of heart) Meanwhile, pour 2 Tablespoons melted butter in each of 6 small ramekins; set aside and keep warm.
  • Reserve the remaining butter in its skillet.
  • Heat the serving plates in a 250F oven.
  • Thoroughly combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl.
  • Dip each fillet in the reserved melted butter so that both sides are well coated; then sprinkle seasoning mix generously and evenly on both sides of the fillets, patting by hand.
  • Place in the hot skillet and pour 1 teaspoon melted butter on top of each fillet (be careful, as the butter may flame up).
  • Cook, uncovered, over the same high heat until the underside looks charred, about 2 minutes (the time will vary according to the fillet's thickness and the heat of the skillet).
  • Turn the fish over and again pour 1 teaspoon butter on top; cook until fish is done, about 2 minutes more.
  • Repeat with remaining fillets.
  • Serve each fillet while piping hot.
  • To serve, place one fillet and a ramekin of butter on each heated serving plate.

Tips:

  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet for the best sear.
  • Make sure the fish is completely dry before searing to prevent splattering.
  • Sear the fish over high heat for a few minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
  • Do not move the fish around in the skillet while it is searing.
  • Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
  • Serve the blackened redfish with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or a salad.
