Add the olive oil to a heavy bottomed skillet - like a cast iron skillet. Add medium-high heat.
2 teaspoons Olive Oil
Take the redfish fillet and brush all over the melted butter.
3 Pounds Redfish Fillets, ½ Cup Unsalted Butter
Take the seasoning and sprinkle liberally all over. Pat it all over the fish.
¼ Cup Blackening Seasoning
Once the skillet looks like it's smoking, as it's so hot, add the redfish fillets. Leave to cook for about 3 minutes, then carefully flip the redfish over and cook the other side another 3 minutes.
Remove and serve.
Storage Instructions
Should you have leftovers, I recommend storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Give a quick heat up in the microwave to not overcook when reheating.
Notes
Depending on how spicy/seasoned you like your redfish will determine how much seasoning you should use. I did not use as much as some people do, making the redfish have more of a bronze color to it. I prefer it like this as my kids can't eat it too spicy.For more blackened recipes, try my Blackened Chicken, or my Blackened Shrimp.
