Blackened Fish Fillets(Serving Size: 6. Preparation Time: 0:20) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lb. fish fillets (1/2 to 3/4-inch thick)
3/4 c. butter
1 Tbsp. paprika
3/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. white pepper
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1 dash cumin

Preparation

Mix dry ingredients on large plate.
Melt butter in heavy skillet (do not use light weight or nonstick skillet).
Pour off all but 3 tablespoons into 9 x 12 x 1-inch pan.
Turn on hood vent and turn heat to high.
Dip each fillet in melted butter (in the 9 x 12-inch 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 seals forming a spicy, crunchy coating, sealing in moisture and flavor.
