Blackened Fish:

From the Cookhouse Cuisinier
May 10, 2004.
Here is a recipe that will work well for any type of fish, be it cod, catfish, walleye or some other. I have yet to try the spice mix with chicken, pork, or other meats. I suspect the results would be very tasty. This is a slight modification from a website recipe provided by a site that claims to have 1871 online recipes. If you like cooking it's worth a visit.

What you need. What you do.
1 tsp. paprika. 1 tsp cayenne pepper. 1/2 tsp. each of ground sage, ground cumin, garlic powder, sugar, salt, and onion powder. In a flour or other suitable shaker, mix all ingredients.
4 fish filets (4 - 8 oz. each.) Lay fillets out on waxed paper with the skin side up. Use shaker to sprinkle with spice mix to taste.
Olive oil. Heat a heavy iron skillet to medium-hot and spread with oil. Place fillets spice side down in the skillet and cook for five minutes until slightly blackened.
Sprinkle top of fillets with spice to taste and turn carefully with a spatula. Cook about five more minutes until fish is tender.
Lemon juice or wedges. Serve fish with lemon while hot.
This fish goes well with fried potatoes or mac and cheese.
