Ingredients

4-6 Tilapia

2 Tablespoons - Paprika

2 Teaspoons - Salt (or to taste) **Read recipe alteration below.**

2 Teaspoons - Lemon Pepper

1-1/2 Teaspoon - Garlic Powder

1-1/2 Teaspoon - Ground Red Pepper

1-1/2 Teaspoon - Dried, Crushed Basil

1 Teaspoon - Onion Powder

1 Teaspoon - Dried Thyme

1 Cup - unsalted butter, melted (I always start with a stick of butter melted and then melt more if needed.)

Directions

Heat iron skillet on high 5 minutes.

Mix all seasonings in a bowl.

Dip fillets in melted butter and coat with seasonings. (I drizzle the spices on each piece of fish to get an even coating. Don't be afraid to coat heavily)!!

Place fillets in hot skillet and cook 2 minutes on each side.

Makes 4 servings.

Enjoy!!!

Thanks jstram901 for your suggestion!! You know when I myself make this I always cut down the salt but truly did forget to mention it when I posted the recipe! Sorry to all! :-)

I'm curious about putting this on the grill...

Dynie,

I am sure this would be great on the grill!! Just be careful since fish has a tendency to fall through the spaces....or for me anyway!! Good luck!!

This recipe is sooo goood!!! I cooked it inside, on a cast iron pan. Turn on the fan, and don't be scared! It is very spicy, but oh so delicious!

I agree with istram-- much less salt, but it was delicious none-the-less! I'll definitely do this one again. I used a buttery spray substitute instead of butter and it was great. Can't wait to try it out on the grill!

Yes, this type of recipe does smoke some so I have a portable burner that I use outside to cook recipes like this. I was raised on blackened catfish. Tilapia is so much more readily available in Seattle so I will defintely give this a try!
Thanks again - wonderful recipes!
