CAJUN BLACKENED FISH {+ VIDEO}

Steps:

• Combine Spice Mix in a shallow dish and mix.
• Coat both sides of the fish fillets with the Spice Mix, shaking off excess.
• Heat oil in a large heavy based skillet over medium high heat.
• Add fish and cook until the rub turns black, then flip and cook the other side until the fish is cooked to your taste. (Note 2)
• Serve immediately. I served mine with a buttery Corn Rice Salad - refer to the Notes for the recipe.

CAJUN FISH FILLETS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, thyme, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper and oil to make a paste.
• Pat fish dry with paper towels.
• Using the back of a spoon, rub paste mixture evenly over the entire surface of the fish.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Preheat bbq to medium high and grease grill.
• BBQ halibut, turning once, until cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes per side (Alternately, cook fish in a nonstick frypan over medium high heat).
• Cooking time may vary depending on thickness of fish.
• Remove fish to a serving plate and serve with lemon wedges.
• This rub works equally well with salmon, sea bass or tuna.
