Instructions: This dish generates a lot of smoke so turn your fans on or open a window.

Heat a large heavy cast iron frying pan on the stove until it is extremely hot. (about 5 minutes).

Combine all the spices in a bowl and mix well.

Coat each snapper fillet in the seasoning mix to coat, patting to ensure it sticks.

Cut the butter into 1 cm cubes and toss into the red hot pan (it should begin to smoke immediately). Swirl around the pan, then add the coated snapper, skin side down.

Allow to cook about 2-3 minutes on each side until seasoning on fish has turned black and fish is cooked through. Dont worry about the smoke that results.

Serve immediately.
