CAJUN BLACKENED FISH {+ VIDEO}
"Blackening" is a classic Cajun cooking technique which involves searing spice coated seafood and meats in a hot skillet so the rub turns black (but not burnt). I think the black crust and white juicy flesh inside looks so stunning! I served this with a simple Corn Butter Rice Salad - refer to the Notes for the recipe. This is adapted from this Blackened Fish Tacos recipe, a guest post here on RecipeTin Eats by Kathleen of Hapa Nom Nom. Watch the video on my YouTube Channel!

PAN-FRIED BLACKENED RED SNAPPER
This is a recipe that I came up with one night after finding some red snapper in the freezer. It can also be done with catfish, flounder, perch, or pretty much any white fish. Remember that the thinner the fillet, the shorter the cook time.

GRILLED BLACKENED RED SNAPPER
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Mix together the paprika, cayenne, 1 teaspoon salt, garlic salt, onion salt, thyme, oregano, and pepper.
- Sprinkle the seasoning over each side of the snapper. Prepare a gas or charcoal grill to high heat (500F to 600F).
- Bring the lemon juice to a simmer in a small saucepan or heat to a simmer in the microwave in a safe dish.
- Remove from heat and add butter, and salt to taste. Mix well.
- Right before placing fish on the grill, oil the grill grates well. Make several passes as this will create a nice non-stick surface.
- Grill the red snapper about 4 to 5 minutes on one side, depending on thickness, until the seasonings are blackened.
- Turn the snapper over and grill for another 4 to 5 minutes until done or until the fish reaches an internal temperature of 145 F.
- Remove the fish from grill and plate. Add parsley to the lemon butter and spoon 1/4 of the butter mixture over each piece of fish.
