Blackened Fish
Source: Marilyn

1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
1 teaspoon pure garlic powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Combine ingredients. This makes enough for about 6 large fish fillets of your choice. Works nicely with salmon, tilapia, catfish and trout. Wash and dry filets and rub with seasoning mixture. Heat a small amount of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add fish to skillet, flesh side down for about 4 minutes. Be careful, blackening does not mean to burn, the spices will become very dark. Carefully turn fish, lower heat and continue to cook until fish is as desired (10 minutes total cooking time for 1-inch thick filet). **Fish will be spicy and very, very moist.
