This 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.
