Blackened Redfish(You May Substitute Catfish For The Redfish) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 Tbsp. paprika
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. ground red pepper
3/4 tsp. white pepper
3/4 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. dried oregano, crushed
1/2 tsp. dried thyme, crushed
1/4 c. margarine or butter (butter works better)
3 redfish fillets, 3/4-inch thick

Preparation

In a small dish, stir together the paprika, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, red pepper, white pepper, black pepper, oregano and thyme; set aside.
Melt the margarine (or butter).
Dip the fish in melted oleo or butter, then sprinkle each side with about 1 teaspoon of spice mixture.
Place the coated fish in a single layer on a platter.
Place fish in a very hot skillet in which you have melted a little butter.
Keep skillet hot and cook until fish flakes with a fork (approximately 2 minutes on each side).
Each side will look black.
This causes quite a bit of smoke.
Some people prefer cooking this outside.
