edit Ingredients

2

pounds Fish fillets, ½ to ¾" thick

¾

cup Butter

1

tablespoon Paprika

¾

teaspoon Cayenne pepper

1

teaspoon Salt

½

teaspoon Black pepper

½

teaspoon White pepper

1

teaspoon Onion powder

1

teaspoon Garlic powder

½

edit Preparation

Step 1

1. Mix dry ingredients on large plate.

Step 2

2. 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.

Step 3

3. TURN ON HOOD VENT and turn heat to high.

Step 4

4. Dip each fillet in melted butter (in the 9 x 12 pan) and then dip in the dry ingredients, patting the fillets by hand.

Step 5

5. 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.

Step 6

NOTES : Use any type of fish you prefer - swordfish, redfish, whitefish, tuna, etc.
