Ingredients




6 8-10z redfish fillets
pound Unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon Sweet paprika
teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Onion powder
1 teaspoon Garlic powder
1 teaspoon Ground cayenne pepper
teaspoon Ground white pepper
teaspoon Ground black pepper
teaspoon Dried thyme leaves
teaspoon Dried oregano leaves

Preparation

1 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.

Heat a large cast-iron skillet over very high heat until it is beyond the smoking stage and you see white ash in the  2 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. 3 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.

Serve each fillet while piping hot. 5 To serve, place one fillet and a ramekin of butter on each heated serving plate. I had this in K Pauls Restaurant in New Orleans. It is a taste experience you will never forgive yourself for missing should you ever be lucky enough to find yourself in N'awlins and you don't go to K Paul's and order this. Even people who don't like fish love this dish.
