A flavorful and spicy Cajun-inspired fish dish that's quick and easy to prepare.
Combine all the spices in a mixing bowl to create the spice blend.
Mix the spices thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
Melt the butter and mix it with the olive oil in a small bowl.
Use a microwave or stovetop to melt the butter gently without burning it.
Brush the fish fillets with the butter-oil mixture on both sides.
Ensure the fillets are evenly coated for better flavor and cooking.
Sprinkle the spice blend evenly over both sides of the fish fillets.
Press the spices gently onto the fish to help them adhere better.
Heat a large skillet over high heat until very hot.
A properly heated skillet ensures a good sear on the fish.
Place the fish fillets in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side.
Avoid moving the fish while it cooks to achieve a nice crust.
Flip the fish and cook for another 4-5 minutes until done.
The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
Serve the fish hot with your choice of sides.
Garnish with fresh herbs or a lemon wedge for added flavor.
