Serves 6.
½ lb. Unsalted Butter, melted
Seasoning Mix:
1 Tbs. Paprika
2 ½ tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Onion Powder
1 tsp. Garlic Powder
1 tsp. Ground Red Pepper (Cayenne)
¾ tsp. Ground White pepper
¾ tsp. Ground Black pepper
½ tsp. Dried Thyme Leaves
½ tsp. Dried Oregano Leaves
Six 8 to10-ounce Red Fish Filets (or other fish including Red Snapper, Rock Fish, Tilapia or Orange Roughy)
METHOD:
Heat large cast iron skillet over very high heat until it is beyond the smoking stage (you will see white ash in the bottoms). This will take at least 10 minutes.
Thoroughly combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl. Dip each fish fillet in the melted butter so that both sides are well coated; then sprinkle the seasoning mix generously on both sides. Pat fillets to help seasoning adhere to fish.
Place fish fillets in the hot skillet and pour 1 teaspoon melted butter on the top of each fillet. Cook on high heat until the underside looks charred, about 2 minutes.
Turn the fish over and again, pour 1 teaspoon melted butter on top. Cook until fish is done, about 2 more minutes.
