Blackened Fish

Description: If you like red snapper, then use it here - I think it's fabulous. The spice rub can be used on anything - it's the best I've ever tasted! I make 3 fillets for 2 people because it's so good!

Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons onion powder
• 1 teaspoon cayenne
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 -1 1/2 teaspoon salt (based on preference)
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin
• 3 fish fillets (I love red snapper, but use anything you like)
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• cooking oil
• lemon wedge

Steps:

1. Mix first 8 ingredients together, and drench the fish in the mixture.
2. Drizzle with melted butter and sauté in a very hot (not burning), heavy (cast iron!) skillet until blackened, only a few minutes per side.
3. Turn and repeat on other side.
4. Serve with lemon wedges.
