Blackened Fish Fillets

• 2 pounds fish fillets 1/2 to 3/4" thick
• 3/4 cup butter
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 cumin

1. 1. Mix dry ingredients on large plate.
2. 2. Melt butter in heavy skillet (do not use lightweight or non-stick skillet). Pour off all but 3 tablespoons into 9 x 12 x 1 pan.
3. 3. TURN ON HOOD VENT and turn heat to high.
4. 4. Dip each fillet in melted butter (in the 9 x 12 pan) and then dip in the dry ingredients, patting the fillets by hand.
5. 5. Cook fish on each side for 2 to 3 minutes, being careful when turning them over. The fish will look charred - "blackened" - and there may be some smoke, but not an excessive amount. The blackening forms a spicy, crunchy coating, sealing in moisture and flavor.
