Blackened Redfish

Spiced and seared redfish.

15 minutes
Serves 4
Dinner

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat a large cast-iron skillet outdoors or in a very well-ventilated kitchen over high heat until it is white-hot and smoking (about 10 minutes).

  2. 2

    Dip each fish fillet entirely into the melted butter, ensuring it is well-coated.

  3. 3

    Generously sprinkle the blackening spice blend on both sides of the buttered fish, pressing it lightly into the flesh.

  4. 4

    Carefully place the fillets into the smoking hot dry skillet. Pour 1 teaspoon of melted butter over each fillet; be prepared for dramatic smoke and flames.

  5. 5

    Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until a thick, black crust forms on the bottom.

  6. 6

    Carefully flip the fillets and cook for 2 more minutes. Serve immediately with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
