Grilled Cajun Fish Recipe

  • 4 fish fillets or steaks
  • 2 tablespoons of melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon of crushed garlic
  • 2 tablespoons of paprika
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon of white pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper
  • ½ teaspoon of dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon of dried oregano
  • A pinch each of ground sea salt and sugar

Preheat a grill or non-stick frying pan. Melt the butter in a small bowl and add the crushed garlic. Brush the fish fillets with the butter and garlic mixture. Combine the spices and herbs and sprinkle on one side of the fillets. Place the fish on the grill spiced side down and cook for 2 minutes over a high heat. Note that the Cajun spice mixture will char the fillets and may flare up. Sprinkle the remaining spices over the fish and flip. Cook the other side of the fish for a further 2 minutes or until the fillets are just cooked through. Serve immediately with fresh green salad leaves and crusty bread.

(Serves 2 to 4)
