How To Make Blackened Fish Fillets
Easy Recipe Directions:
Mix dry ingredients on large plate.
Melt butter in heavy skillet (do not use lightweight or non-stick skillet). Pour off all but 3 tablespoons into 9 x 12 x 1 pan.
Turn on hood vent and turn heat to high. Dip each fillet in melted butter (in the 9 x 12 pan) and then dip in the dry ingredients, patting the fillets by hand.
Cook fish on each side for 2 to 3 minutes, being careful when turning them over. The fish will look charred -- "blackened" -- and there may be some smoke, but not an excessive amount. The blackening forms a spicy, crunchy coating, sealing in moisture and flavor.
