Blackened Yellowtail

Step 1

Add all the 8 ingredients from paprika to salt into a small mixing bowl and combine well.

Step 2

Place cast iron pan on stove or grill and heat until it's extremely hot, around 10 minutes.

Step 3

While the cast iron pan is being heated up, add ¾ cup of butter to a shallow dish. Dip fillets in butter, flip to coat the other side, then sprinkle and pat the mixed spices onto each fillet.

Step 4

Add fillet onto cast iron pan without overcrowding. Cook in batches if required. Pour 1 tsp of melted butter over each fillet and cook for about 2 minutes. We want the bottom to be charred. Flip the fillet and repeat by pouring melted butter and let it cook until charred.

Step 5

Once cooked, remove to serving plates and enjoy!
