How to Make Blackened Spicy Snapper Fillets
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons paprika, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon dried parsley, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano.
- Heat a large cast iron skillet over high heat for 5-8 minutes, or until extremely hot. (You should see a light haze above the pan).
- Melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of butter in a separate bowl.
- Dip each snapper fillet into the melted butter, ensuring both sides are coated.
- Generously sprinkle both sides of each fillet with the spice mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Carefully place the seasoned fillets in the hot skillet.
- Pour 1 tablespoon of butter over each fillet.
- Cook for 3-5 minutes, until the coating is blackened and slightly crispy.
- Gently flip the fillets using a spatula.
- Pour another tablespoon of butter over each fillet.
- Cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
