Blackened Tilapia

I'm always looking for a creative fish recipe.

The basic breaded with lemon, or garlic Parmesan, though yummy, gets old.

I found this on the last package I bought and tried it out.

It is quite spicy, so if you like things a little milder, reduce the cayenne and chili powder.

The left overs made great fish tacos the next day!

1 lb tilapia fillets (about 4-5 depending on size)

1 T chili powder

1 t cayenne

2 tsp black pepper

1 T paprika

1 T onion powder

1/2 T garlic powder

1 t oregano

1 t ground thyme

1 t brown sugar

cooking oil

Combine dry spices together to create a rub.  Completely coat the fillets and allow to sit for 15-20 minutes before cooking.  Heat oil in a large skillet and add fillets.  Cook 2-3 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Serve while hot.
