Pat the redfish fillets dry with paper towels. Generously coat both sides of each fillet with the prepared blackening seasoning, pressing it into the fish to ensure it adheres well.

Blacken the Redfish
Carefully place the seasoned redfish fillets in the hot skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until a dark crust forms. Flip the fillets and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
