Fish

Blackened fish that we had last night served over rice with peppers and onions on top

I've bought many different brands of seasonings over the years. Last year I started making my own with the following recipe and now use it exclusively.

BLACKENED FISH SEASONING RECIPE

Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons sweet paprika
  • 2 tablespoons onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons red pepper
  • 2 tablespoons black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
Instructions:
Combine all of the ingredients and pour in a empty jar. Seal well and store in a cool dry place. Shake jar well before each use.



BLACKENED FISH RECIPE


Ingredients:
  • blackened fish seasoning (see above)
  • fish fillets
  • melted butter
Instructions:
Heat a large skillet over high heat. Dip fish into the melted butter then sprinkle the seasoning onto both sides of the fish. Place the fish into the hot skillet. Pour a teaspoon of melted butter on the fish in the skillet. Cook for about two minutes then turn over. Place another teaspoon of melted butter onto this side of fish. Cook this side for another two minutes or until done.

I also like to bake fish. Here is a easy and quick way to bake fish that taste great.

BAKED FISH

Speaking of fish... Here are a couple of my favorite fish pictures.
