Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

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
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
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.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
