BLACKENED TROUT

• Combine paprika, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, white pepper, black pepper, thyme, and oregano in a small bowl.Then place it in a shallow plate that's big enough to roll the fish inches.
• Dip fillets in melted butter, then in seasoning mixture, and place in hot skillet and cook 2-5 minutes on each side until blackened.
• reheat melted butter to a simmer, and pour in small bowls to use for dipping.

BLACKENED FISH

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together paprika, dry mustard, cayenne pepper, cumin, black pepper, white pepper, thyme and salt; set aside. Heat a heavy cast iron pan on high heat until extremely hot, about 10 minutes.
• Pour 3/4 cup melted butter into a shallow dish. Dip each fillet into butter, turning once to coat both sides. Sprinkle both sides of fillets with spice mixture, and gently pat mixture onto fish.
• Place fillets into hot pan without crowding. Carefully pour about 1 teaspoon melted butter over each fillet. Cook until fish has a charred appearance, about 2 minutes. Turn fillets, spoon 1 teaspoon melted butter over each, and cook until charred. Repeat with remaining fish.

BLACKENED TROUT WITH ESCOVITCH

Steps:

• Make the escovitch: Combine the vinegar, all-purpose seasoning, sugar, allspice, salt, thyme sprigs, garlic, lime juice and 1/3 cup water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir until the sugar and salt dissolve. Add the carrots, onion, bell peppers and Scotch bonnet and cook until the vegetables become slightly tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside. (Remove the Scotch bonnet before serving.)
• For the trout: Combine the garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, thyme, onion powder, oregano and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Coat each piece of trout with the blackening seasoning. Heat half of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Add two trout fillets to the skillet and cook until the fish is browned and flakes with a fork, about 3 minutes on each side. Repeat with the remaining butter and trout. Spoon the escovitch on top of each fish fillet before serving.
