How to Make Blackened Redfish at Home
Ingredients
-
2 redfish fillets (skin-on, about 6-8 ounces each)
-
2 tablespoons paprika
-
1 tablespoon garlic powder
-
1 tablespoon onion powder
-
1 tablespoon dried thyme
-
1 tablespoon dried oregano
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 teaspoon black pepper
-
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
-
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
-
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Mix all the dry ingredients together in a small bowl to make the blackening seasoning.
Step 2
Preheat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until it starts to smoke.
Step 3
Brush the redfish fillets with melted butter, then dip each fillet in the blackening seasoning mix, making sure to coat both sides.
Step 4
Add the vegetable oil to the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom. Place the fillets in the skillet skin-side down.
Step 5
Cook for about 3-4 minutes, then flip the fillets over and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and the seasoning is blackened.
Step 6
Remove the fillets from the skillet and let them rest for a minute or two.
Step 7
Serve the blackened redfish fillets hot with your favorite sides, such as rice and vegetables.
