Busted Blackened Tilapia

Postby **Gator** » Mon Sep 17, 2007 7:08 pm

This is a quick and easy recipe for Blackened Tilapia. The great thing is that even our kids asked for seconds (we did too). :wink:

5 or 6 Tilapia Fillets
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
SuckleBusters Texas Gold Dust
Lemon
Louisiana Hot Sauce (optional)

Coat the fillets with EVOO and apply a heavy dusting of Texas Gold Dust - All Purpose Seasoning. Heat a non-stick skillet on high heat and add the fillets. Turn once when you see the seasoning forming a dark crust. They cook quickly, about a minute or two on each side. Squeeze on lemon and add Louisiana Hot Sauce if you like it extra hot. Serve and enjoy!

Bet that would be good on some snook or redfish

IMHO, a cast iron frying pan or skillet works best. Gotta work fast, fishies don't take but a minute or two with the iron hot as hades. :shock:

PS, might want to add some fresh fine ground black pepper to the dust if you like a bite. :wink:

Gator... Did you blacken this inside or outside?

When I had my first apartment, I blackened some red snapper inside and set off my smoke alarms.

Since then, I have done it outside because blackening will produce alot of smoke.

I did these inside Chuck, not much smoke. The Tilapia cook so quickly that there is not much time to get a good smoke ring. :lol:

Yessir, that is good. Cooked us up some of those a week or two ago.
I didn't get mine as blackened like yours tough. Looks great.

Tilapia is our favorite fish. Well, the kids and I!! Hubby won't touch fish.
That fish looked mighty good!! I also like the good value of Tilapia. It tastes just as good or better than orange roughy, which I also love, but is half the price!

The only fish he will eat, if you can call it that, is a McDonalds fish sandwich when he has to eat cheap. :shock:
