Blackened Red Snapper Recipe

I'm sure you'll very much enjoy this Blackened Red Snapper Recipe

4 red snapper fillets (about 6 ounces each)
2 tablespoons butter

Cajun Seasoning Mix (Makes about 1/2 cup)

2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoons paprika
1-1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper

Rinse red snapper fillets with fresh water and pat dry using a paper or kitchen towel.

In a small bowl, prepare Cajun seasoning by combining and mixing together salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, thyme, oregano and ground white pepper.

Heat large skillet over medium heat until very hot. Next add butter and swirl skillet to coat entire bottom. When butter no longer bubbles, add filets to skillet and cook for 6 to 8 minutes. Turn fish halfway through cooking. Your blackened red snapper fillet is done when it easily flakes with a fork.

Serve with a side item of choice. I usually serve my fish with freshly boiled pasta and Alfredo sauce.
