Ingredients:

• 4 (about 6 ounces each) red snapper fillets not more than 3/4 inch thick
• 1 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 1/2 teaspoon paprika powder
• 2 teaspoons salt, optional
• 1teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon thyme
• olive oil
• 1/4pound butter (1 stick)

How to cook Blackened Red Snapper Fillets:

• Mix all the dry ingredients thoroughly to form the blackening mix.
• Rub fillets with the olive oil and dust with the blackening mix.
• Heat a cast iron skillet to nearly red hot.
• Drop one-half of the stick of butter into the pan. Immediately place the red snapper fillets in the pan and cook for no more than 2 minutes per side.
• Add additional butter after turning if needed.

Note:

It is highly recommended to cook blackened fish outside because of the amount of smoke that is generated.

Hint:

If desired, use redfish, pompano, tilefish, or snapper, instead of red snapper.
