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
  1. Heat iron skillet on high 5 minutes.
  2. Mix all seasonings in a bowl.
  3. 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)!!
  4. Place fillets in hot skillet and cook 2 minutes on each side.
  5. Makes 4 servings.
  6. Enjoy!!!

Jett


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! :-)


Maybe I can get hubby to eat fish with this one.


I don't usually like fish but this was delicious...


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!!
