The recipe is absolutely perfect. Authentic blackened taste. I don't believe it says to do this on the recipe, but I poured my remaining butter on the skillet before laying the fish down, that's when the aroma really came out. The entire first floor of my house smelled like a Cajun restaurant, so make sure your hood is turned on to its highest setting.
Beautiful taste, and very fun to cook.

@renate007_12834588 I made this EXACTLY as the recipe dictated and not only did the blackening seasoning stick but this is one of the best blackened tilapia recipes out there. I question your bad rating as there was none of the problems you mentioned. I would also suggest you season your cast iron as I can cook an egg in my 70 year old pan and it won't stick.

Very good & easy. Didn't have the mango salsa but didn't miss it. Perfect for a busy weekday meal.
