2.  Drizzle fillets with olive oil and liberally season one side with Blackening Seasoning (if you like it spicier season both sides.

3.  Over medium high heat drizzle 1 TBS of olive oil in a hot cast iron pan until it begins to smoke.  

4.  Add fish fillet (do not over crowd the pan or you will poach the fish) and do not move for 4 minutes for 3/4" fillets.

5.  Flip add 1 TBS butter, spoon over fish and cook 2-3  more minutes.

Enjoy!
