- 1/4 cup cayenne
- 1/4 cup black pepper
- 1/4 cup italian seasoning
- 1/4 cup ancho chili powder
- 1/4 cup salt
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- two 8-ounce redfish fillets
- In a bowl, mix together the cayenne, black pepper, Italian seasoning, ancho chili powder, and salt.
- Heat the olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Generously coat the redfish fillets with the rub. Place the fillets skin side down in the skillet and sear until the skin is crispy like a potato chip. Lightly press the fillets with a spatula. Carefully flip each fillet over and turn off heat. Let the residual heat finish cooking the fish. Let the fish rest in the pan for a few minutes. Plate and enjoy!
