How to Make Cajun Fish Fillets
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons paprika, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, ½ - 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste), and 2 tablespoons olive oil to make a paste.
- Pat fish fillets dry with paper towels. This helps the rub adhere better and ensures a nice sear.
- Using the back of a spoon, rub the paste mixture evenly over both sides of each fish fillet.
- Cover the fish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for maximum flavor infusion.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375-400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Grill the halibut fillets for 3-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your fillets.
- Remove the fish from the grill and let rest for a minute or two before serving.
- Serve immediately with lemon wedges for a bright and zesty finish.
- This incredible Cajun rub is versatile! Try it with salmon, sea bass, or tuna for equally delicious results.
