Blackened Tilapia Recipes

Steps:

• Coat the fish fillets with the spice mixture, and allow to sit at room temperature for no longer than 30 minutes.

• Cook fillets for about 3 minutes per side, or until fish is opaque and can be flaked with a fork.
• Remove from the pan.
• Pour pan juices over them and squeeze lemon juice all over.

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine all of the spices. Press a heaping tablespoon of the spice mix onto each fillet so that both sides are liberally coated. Allow the fish to sit for 15 minutes at room temperature prior to cooking.
• In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is almost smoking, add the fillets and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Sprinkle with lemon juice and transfer the fillets to serving platter.

Repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 fish fillets.
