Local white meat fish – i.e. Snapper, Tilapia or Sole
2-4 Tbsp.
Cajun Blend Seasoning
1 Lemon or Lime
Cut into thin slices with one slice through the skin
1 Tbsp.
Parsley
¼ Cup
Olive Oil
Directions
Once the fish fillets are cleaned, dry them off with paper towel - it is important the fillets are dry to make sure the spices stick and to avoid the oil from popping.
Sprinkle all of the Cajun Blend Seasoning on the fillets and pat the seasoning on the fillets to make it stick be sure to coat the fillets generously.
Now that the fillets are prepared, pre-heat a skillet on medium heat, preferably a non-stick skillet or wok with thick bottom to maintain heat.
Add the olive into the skillet (covering bottom of skillet) and heat the oil until the oil just starts to smoke.
Once smoke appears, immediately put the fillets in the skillet and they will start to sear and smoke, which is normal.
Pending on the thickness of the fillets, let the fillets cook on one side for a minute (or until golden brown).
Flip over the fillets and cook for 1 minute (or until golden brown) - do not overcook the fish.
Once cooked, remove the fillets and put on dry sheet, paper towel or rack to remove any residual oil.
While the fillets are still hot, you can sprinkle some more Cajun Blend and salt to taste.
Finally sprinkle the fillets with parsley and top each fillet with a lemon slice.
This is a quick, healthy way to each fish and you can compliment this dish with your favorite vegetables with the same recipe.
