Method
Preparation
- 1
Make the Blackening Seasoning
In a small bowl, combine paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create the blackening seasoning.
- 2
Prepare the Redfish
Pat the redfish fillets dry with paper towels. This will help the seasoning stick better.
Cooking
- 3
Season the Fillets
Rub the blackening seasoning generously over both sides of each redfish fillet.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers but does not smoke.
- 5
Blacken the Fish
Carefully place the seasoned redfish fillets in the hot skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and has a dark, charred crust. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
