Blackened Fish

Here's another quick and easy meal that is truly tasty. You will need some of these.
These are Mahi fillets that we get frozen from Costco. They come individually vacuum sealed in a three pound bag so they cost  less than $1.50 a piece. Needless to say they are a staple of our freezer. But you could use  any skinless fish you like. Swordfish works well also. Next gather up these spices.
The celery seed (good for your liver: http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/celery-seed-000231.htm) and the turmeric (Alzheimers prevention: http://www.wellnesstrader.com/evidence/Turmeric-Alzheimers) are optional. Sprinkle both sides of  the fillets with the combination of spices. If you like more heat, add more red pepper.
Heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil to just short of it's smoke point over medium high heat.
Cook for two minutes per side depending on the thickness. We like to use the screen to hold down the splatter.
Take 'em up.
And serve with your favorite salad.
Or like this one.
They also make great fish sandwiches!
