10-Minute Blackened Tilapia

By nurseliz

Ingredients

• Tilapia filets
• Vegetable Oil
• Blackening Powder Recipe
• 1 Tbsp. smoked paprika
• 2 tsp. thyme
• 1 tsp. cumin
• 1 tsp. oregano
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 1 tsp. onion powder
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
• 1/2 tsp. ground red peppe

Preparation

Step 1

Mix dry ingredients together in a small bowl to create blackening powder. Then moisten the sides of each tilapia filet (either with water or cooking spray), and coat with blackening powder. (I generally use about 1 Tbsp. powder per filet.)

Heat 1 Tbsp. of oil per filet in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once oil is almost smoking, add filets and cook for about 3 minutes per side, or until fish is opaque and can be flaked with a fork. Remove from pan and serve immediately.
