Cajun Blackened Fish

Instructions

1. 1

   In a small bowl, combine the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the Cajun seasoning.

2. 2

   Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This will help the seasoning to stick better and create a nice crust.

3. 3

   Coat each fish fillet evenly with the Cajun seasoning, pressing the mixture onto the fish to adhere well.

4. 4

   Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

5. 5

   Place the seasoned fish fillets in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is blackened and flakes easily with a fork.

6. 6

   Once cooked, remove the fish from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

7. 7

   Serve the Cajun blackened fish hot, with your choice of sides such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
