blackened fish

this week i've had the fortune to make blackened fish on two separate occasions! as requested by H, i dug up some recipes on cooks.com and then modified them to fit what i wanted to make. total cook/prep time ~ 20 minutes!

i used tilapia filets as my fish of choice, but i'm sure that any other fish would be good. for my seasoning, i basically put at least 1/2 tablespoon of whatever spices i could find in my cabinet. (note: for the pepper-like spices, obviously i didn't put as much in!) these included salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, red chili pepper powder, oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary, cumin...i think that's all. i think adding onion powder would have been really yummy too. i then beat an egg in a bowl and dipped a filet into the egg, covering it completely. i then covered the eggy filet with the spice mix, and then fried on a skillet/pan for 2 1/2 minutes on each side on high heat. the fish came out tasting delicious and spicy...

see? quick and easy, and tastes so good...
