Blackened Tilapia

Blackened Tilapia

Ingredients
tilapia fillets
3 tbsp. of paprika
1 tbsp. dried minced onion
1 tsp. of each oregano, thyme and celery
garlic powder
sea salt and cracked pepper







Directions:

Step 1: Put all the dry ingredients in a bowl or small pan and mix well. Place the fish fillet in the dry rub and make sure enough seasoning sticks to both sides of the fillet. Once you season all the fillets, allow to sit for at least 15 minutes.

Step 2: After the 15 minutes are up, put some olive oil in a pan. Allow the pan to get hot to blacken the fish.

Step 3: Cook each side of the fillet for 3 minutes. Make sure to keep on a medium temperature.

According to the experts, we are should have 2 serving of fish each week. This recipe is great for people who do not like fish unless it is deep fried. My husband did!
