Cajun Style Tilapia

I was in the mood for some seafood this evening.  Came up with this great cajun seasoning mix for some tilapia filets I had bought.  It is delicious! You can use any fish you want really, it can also be used on chicken.  The recipe below is good for about four 6 oz filets of fish. Below is a picture of my seasoned fish about to go in the pan.  Silly me forgot to take a picture of the filets after they cooked, it smelled so good I ate it all without thinking to take a picture.


Cajun Seasoning Mix
1 1/2 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp ground dried thyme
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp dried oregano

Cajun Seasoning mix above
