Equipment

Ingredients

  • Rockfish fillets
  • Cajun spice mix
  • 1 tbsp oil

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
  • Rub the Cajun spice mix generously onto both sides of the rockfish fillets.
  • Place the fillets into the pan, ensuring they don’t overlap or touch.
  • Cook the fish for 4 minutes on one side, then flip carefully with a spatula.
  • Cook for an additional 4 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as quinoa or roasted potatoes.

Notes

  • For a less spicy option, use a milder seasoning blend.
  • Ensure the fish fillets are dry before seasoning to help the spices stick better.
