Description
A deliciously spiced blackened tilapia recipe that is quick and easy to prepare.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 Tilapia filets
- 2 Tbsp blackening seasoning
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- Place the tilapia on a plate. Rub 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil onto both sides of the tilapia filets.
- Spoon the homemade blackened seasoning over the fish and spread around (both sides). You can adjust the seasoning amount based on your preference.
- Heat the remaining vegetable oil over high heat in a cast iron skillet.
- Place tilapia on the hot cast iron pan and let it cook for 3 minutes. Do not move the fish, so it can get that beautiful blackened crust on it.
- Flip and cook another 2-3 minutes until the tilapia has an internal temperature of at least 145 degrees F.
- Remove to a separate plate and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Adjust the seasoning for desired spice level.
- Serve with sides like rice or vegetables for a complete meal.
