Cajun Red Snapper
A red snapper recipe with spicy Cajun seasoning.
Ingredient
-
1 teaspoon paprika
-
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
-
1 teaspoon dried thyme
-
1 teaspoon dried basil
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
½ teaspoon onion powder
-
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
-
¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
-
2 tablespoons butter
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
6 (6 ounce) fillets red snapper
-
salt to taste
Direction
-
Mix paprika, black pepper, thyme, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and cayenne pepper on a large piece of wax paper.
-
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter with oil. Brush both sides of snapper fillets with butter-oil mixture; reserve remaining butter-oil mixture. Coat both sides of fillets with paprika mixture.
-
Heat a large cast iron skillet over high heat until a drop of water sizzles on it.

Drizzle 1/2 of the remaining butter-oil mixture on one side of fish fillets. Place fillets butter-side down in the hot skillet; cook until deeply browned, about 5 minutes. Drizzle remaining butter-oil mixture over fillets and flip over. Cook until fish is browned and flakes easily with a fork, about 5 minutes more. Season with salt.
