Blackened Fish
(serves 6)

Ingredients
6 large white fish fillets
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, paprika, white pepper, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, basil, and salt

Directions
Brush fillets generously with melted butter. Mix all spices together. Coat both sides of fish with spice mixture.

Heat a large skillet or cast iron pan over high heat. Place fillets, one or two at time, in the dry, hot pan to cook for 1-2 minutes on high heat. Turn and cook a few more minutes till done. The surface should be well charred on each side. Add a little extra butter if needed. Serve hot with remaining butter and lemon wedges.
