6 drum fillets, 1/2” thick
Olive oil
Cajun seasoning (or see mix recipe)
1/4 cup butter
Black pepper (optional)
Lemon (optional)
Cajun seasoning mix
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
3/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
Mix seasoning ingredients in a shaker jar.
Place one or two fillets at a time on a shallow dish or plate and lightly rub with olive oil. Dust with Cajun seasoning (either a commercial seasoning or the mix to the right).
In a large cast iron or heavy skillet over medium heat, heat 2 to 3 tablespoons of butter and some olive oil. Place the fillets, seasoned side down, in the hot skillet. Dust the top with additional seasoning so that both sides are coated. Sprinkle on black pepper if desired. Cook until bottom of fillet is blackened, then turn. Continue cooking until the meat flakes. Add more butter or oil if needed while cooking. Serve with melted butter for dipping or fresh lemons.
