Blackened Red Snapper
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon sweet paprika
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons lemon pepper
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or more to taste
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 (4 ounce) fillets red snapper, patted dry
Instructions
1
Combine paprika, salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, lemon pepper, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl to create a blend of seasonings.
2
Mix these ingredients thoroughly until they are well combined and evenly distributed.
3
Combine olive oil and melted butter in a small, microwave-safe bowl; heat in the microwave until the butter is fully incorporated into the oil, approximately 1 minute. Stir to ensure a smooth blend of the two ingredients.
4
Brush some of this oil and butter mixture over both sides of each red snapper fillet, making sure to cover them evenly.
5
Heat the remaining oil and butter mixture in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the red snapper fillets until the flesh is tender and flakes easily with a fork, taking about 4 to 5 minutes per side.
