Ingredients
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon thyme
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne
  • ¼ teaspoon celery salt
  • 1 ½ pounds grouper, sliced into 8-ounce filets
  • 4 tablespoons butter
Directions
  1. In a small bowl, combine the spices.
  2. Pat the fish filets completely dry, then coat them generously in the blackening seasoning.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat until hot.
  4. Drop in butter to melt. The butter should bubble but not burn.
  5. Once melted, add the fish and sear until a dark crust forms, for about 3 minutes.
  6. Flip the fish and blacken the second side, for about another 3 minutes, or until cooked through.
  7. Remove the fish and place it on a paper-towel-lined plate. Repeat as needed until all the filets are blackened.
  8. Serve immediately.
