Big Daddy’s Blackened Tilapia

So I think I told you that Normy and I have us a roommate for a few months, my cousin Jenn.

Here is moving in day! When Jenn came to start staying with us! I made her and my Aunt Michele, Normy and myself breakfast and Normy made smoothies…

So since Jenn is staying with us, I have introduced her to new foods and different ways of eating them and making them! Also teaching her how FRESH is ALWAYS THE BEST! HA! I am trying to get her to like bell peppers and onions cause I LOVE THEM, So she should too! HA! So far I have introduced her too: Soy Beans, Capers, FRESH mozzarella (not the shredded stuff), hmmm what else…San Marzano tomatoes, Spaghetti squash, Cajun spices… Dijon/grainy mustard… ginger…Noosa yogurt and NORMAN COFFEE And EXTRA sharp cheddar cheese and Duck Dynasty just to name a few! (I know Duck Dynasty isn’t a food) I have also shown her my LOVE for paper towels and windex and that a SUPER CLEAN Kitchen is a HAPPY Kitchen! Introduced her to red wine too!

She has introduced Charmin TP to Normy and me and Gallo Family wine

and Dark chocolate covered pomegranates and sweet potato chips! And we LOVE to quote the movies Napoleon Dynamite and Wedding Crashers!

 

So Jenn likes Tilapia, so I wanted to make some Tilapia for her, but Normy doesn’t like Tilapia, but I do! So 2 against 1 so Let’s make some Tilapia!

Recipe I LOVE this girls BLOG btw: http://passthesushi.com/

Blackening Spice:
■3 tablespoons smoked paprika
■1 teaspoon salt
■1 tablespoon onion powder
■1 teaspoon ground black pepper
■1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
■1 teaspoon dried ground thyme
■1 teaspoon dried oregano
■1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

For Fish:
■4 tilapia fillets (I did 6)

■2 tablespoons olive oil
■1/2 lemon, juiced

In a small bowl combine all of the spices.

Press a heaping tablespoon of the spice mix onto each fillet

so that both sides are liberally coated.

Allow the fish to sit for 15 minutes at room temperature prior to cooking.

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is almost smoking, add the fillets and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.

Sprinkle with lemon juice and transfer the fillets to serving platter.
