Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    Choose your fish selection. Pat the fillets dry with paper towels.

    In a small bowl, mix together paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Season the Fish

    Rub the blackening seasoning generously over both sides of each fish fillet.
