Ingredients
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 4 (6-ounce) cod fillets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
Directions
  1. In a small bowl, combine the paprika, pepper, thyme, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to create a blackening spice.
  2. Generously coat both sides of each cod fillet with the blackening spice, pressing the spices into the fish.
  3. Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, until butter is almost sizzling.
  4. Place the seasoned cod into the skillet, and cook for 4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is easily flaked with a fork. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh lemon, if desired.

HELPFUL TIP: This combination of spices cooked at a high heat will create a lot of smoke (this is completely normal), so be sure to turn your overhead exhaust fan on as you cook.
