(Experiment 9) Cajun red snapper

Ingredients

  • ~5-600g red snapper makes 4 portions
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 clove of garlic minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme
  • oil

Instructions

  • Take your fish and cut it into portions, then oil each side of it.
  • Mix all your spice together and rub it on the flesh side of the fish.
  • Heat your pan at medium-high. When hot add a little bit of oil then dump the fish flesh side into the hot pan, let it cook for about 3 minutes.
  • Carefully flip the fish for another 3 minutes and serve. Note that the skin will likely stick to your pan, that’s fine, I use a thin spatula and just scrape the flesh leaving the skin in the pan. Don’t overcook and again, only flip once, don’t play with the fish.
