How to Make Cajun Spiced Tilapia
- In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix well.
- Gently pat 4 (4-6 ounce) tilapia fillets dry with paper towels. Evenly coat both sides of the fish with the Cajun spice mixture.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is sizzling, add the fish fillets.
- Saute the tilapia for 4 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
- Serve immediately and enjoy! Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions, if desired.
