This delicious blackened redfish (also called red drum) is quick and easy to prepare. I created this recipe when I was 14 years old and it’s still one of my favorites. It’s best to use fresh-caught redfish, but you can use frozen too.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup butter, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 (4 ounce) fillets red drum
- 1 ¼ cups Italian-style salad dressing
Directions
Step 1
Gather all ingredients and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Place melted butter in a shallow bowl. Mix cayenne pepper, black pepper, lemon-pepper seasoning, garlic powder, and salt together in a small bowl. Dip fillets into butter, then sprinkle with seasoning mixture on both sides.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add fish and sear until slightly charred, about 2 minutes per side.
Step 4
Transfer fillets to an 11×7-inch baking dish and pour Italian dressing over top.
Step 5
Cover and bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 30 minutes.
