New Favorite Meal!!

Nick has name tonight's dinner my "best ever"!

Blackened Cajun Fish

1lb tilapia
1 tablespoon oregano
1 tablespoon thyme
1 tablespoon parsley
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon chili pepper
4 garlic cloves
1 stick of butter

Combine all spices.  If you favor one or two, add more.  If you are particularly fond of one or two, add less.  I obviously did not measure all of these out to the exact amount.  Melt the stick of butter and combine spices.  I used a stick but I probably could've used a third of stick. Dip/cover each fillet (1 lb was 2 fillets) with the butter and spices mixture.  The recipe said to heat the pan REALLY hot for a couple minutes, then turn it down, put in the fish, turn it back up to medium and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side.

On the side we had tomatoes, basil, fresh mozzarella, with the last of the butter and spices out of the bottom of the pan.  I served it on toasted slices of baguettes.

PLEASED!  and so was Nick!!
