Blackened Tilapia with Cilantro Mayo
Posted on December 28th, 2009 by craighopeThis fish recipe is rather simple and very tasty. It does require a cast iron skillet which is not as common in most kitchens these days.
1/4 cup paprika
2 TBL ground thyme
2 tsp Onion Powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground red pepper
1 stick melted butter
4 tilapia fillets (…obviously thawed. If you are like me, you buy these frozed on sale)
Combine the dry ingredients in a shallow dish in which you will dip the fillets and coat. Dip the fillets in the butter, then into the dry ingredients on each side.
Using a cast iron skillet, heat to medium-high. Cook the fillets 3 to 4 minues per side. *** Warning *** beware of the cloud of seasoning as you cook.
Cilantro Mayo: (mix ingredients and chill)
1 Cup Mayo
1/4 cut fresh chopped cilantro
1 TBL fresh lime juice
Note: You can top your fish with tomato or use your favorite mango salsa. This can also be made into a sandwich.
