Blackened Redfish Recipe
INGREDIENTS

1 Zatarans Blacken Seasoning
1½ cups unsalted butter, melted
6 skinless redfish form Toms Awesome Seafood 8-10 ounces each
DIRECTIONS

1. Place a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot, about 10 minutes. It will get smoky, so turn on the exhaust fan and turn off the smoke detector.
2. Meanwhile, pour 2 tablespoons of melted butter in each of 6 small ramekins; set aside and keep warm. Pour the remaining butter into a shallow bowl. Dip each fillet in the butter so that both sides are well coated. Sprinkle the Zatarans Blacken seasoning generously and evenly on both sides of the fish, patting it on by hand.

3. When the skillet is heated, place the fillets inside without crowding and top each with 1 teaspoon of melted butter. Cook, uncovered, until the underside looks charred, about 2-3 minutes. Turn the fillets over and again pour 1 teaspoon of butter on top; cook until done, about 2-3 minutes more. Transfer to warmed plates and repeat with the remaining fish. Serve immediately, with a ramekin of butter on each plate.
We served over rice with fresh green beans.
