Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
6 (4 ounce) fillets trout
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

In a small bowl, mix together paprika, dry mustard, cayenne pepper, cumin, black pepper, white pepper, thyme and salt; set aside. Heat a heavy cast iron pan on high heat until extremely hot, about 10 minutes.
Pour 3/4 cup melted butter into a shallow dish. Dip each fillet into butter, turning once to coat both sides. Sprinkle both sides of fillets with spice mixture, and gently pat mixture onto fish.
Place fillets into hot pan without crowding. Carefully pour about 1 teaspoon melted butter over each fillet. Cook until fish has a charred appearance, about 2 minutes. Turn fillets, spoon 1 teaspoon melted butter over each, and cook until charred. Repeat with remaining fish.

Tips:

Start with fresh, flaky fish fillets for the best results.
Use a good quality blackening spice blend. You can make your own or purchase it from the store.
Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the fish. This will cause the fish to steam instead of blacken.
Cook the fish over high heat until it is blackened on both sides. This will give it a delicious crispy crust.
Serve the blackened fish burgers on toasted buns with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include lettuce, tomato, onion, and tartar sauce.
