Blackened red snapper is a popular dish from the Louisiana bayou. It is made by coating a fillet of red snapper in a spice blend, then cooking it in a hot skillet until the fish is blackened. The result is a flavorful, moist, and slightly spicy dish

ingredients

2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
4 (4 ounce size) red snapper fillets
olive oil

directions

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Place a large cast iron skillet in the oven to heat.

Combine the paprika, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, black pepper, thyme, and oregano in a bowl and mix well.

Place the fish on a work surface, skin-side down. Brush or spray the fish with olive oil. Sprinkle the fish with the blackened seasoning mixture.

Remove the hot skillet from the oven and place on a trivet or other heat-proof surface. Place the fish in the skillet skin-side up. Place the skillet in the oven and cook for 8-10 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Serve the blackened snapper immediately. Garnish with minced fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
