Blackened Redfish - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 Tbsp. paprika
1 tsp. each: garlic and onion powder
1/2 tsp. each: thyme leaves, oregano leaves, pepper and ground red pepper
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 redfish or red snapper fillet (1/2 lb.)
2 lemon wedges (garnish)

Preparation

On sheet of wax paper or a paper plate, combine seasonings and mix thoroughly; set aside.
In 10-inch skillet, heat oil over high heat until oil begins to smoke, 3 to 4 minutes.
While oil is heating, dredge fish in paprika mixture, coating both sides evenly.
Carefully place fish in skillet and cook until bottom is charred, 2 to 3 minutes.
Using a spatula, carefully turn fish over and cook until charred and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes longer (depending on thickness of fillet).
Transfer fish to serving platter and garnish with lemon wedges.
