Photo: Big Daddy's Blackened Tilapia Recipe
Ingredients
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
- 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
Directions
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.

Our local grocery store often has a buy 1 get 2 free deal on tilapia. We used to make fish and chips with a lot of it, but I really wanted a lighter recipe. This recipe was EXACTLY what I was looking for!! My 2 year old eats more than I do when I make it! FABULOUS!!
