I really like buying the pre-packaged frozen fish fillets for their convenience. Especially on those crazy days when I need something quick but still healthy. I can just toss them (in their packaging) into a bowl of warm water and they defrost in less than 30 minutes!
Usually I just bake them with panko or I boil them, but if I'm extremely pressed on time then I make this delicious blackened fish. If you have the seasoning made beforehand, then this dish will soon be your best friend! ;) Leftovers are great for fish tacos! Plus the seasoning works great on chicken too.
Ingredients
2 Swai fillets (cut in half)
1-2 T grapeseed oil
1-2 T grapeseed oil
Seasoning Mix
1 T paprika
1 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp salt
1 T cane sugar
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 T paprika
1 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp salt
1 T cane sugar
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Directions
Mix all the ingredients for the seasoning into a small covered container. Shake up the container before each use.
Rinse the fillets and pat them dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle and rub the seasoning mix on both sides of the fish until they're well coated. Set aside.
Heat oil evenly in a cast iron pan on medium high heat for about 5 minutes. Once the pan is nice and hot, carefully place the fish into the pan. Cook for about 4 minutes on each side.
Serve with rice and a side of veggies. Enjoy!
