excellent balance of flavors and super easy. great flavor without the smoke from high heat blackening. no need to heat a cast iron skillet to surface temps of the sun for this one. you can use your non stick pan on medium. not a true blacken but exceptional flavor just the same. i recommend using emerils essence for the creole seasoning. got this little treasure from a package insert of tilapia fillets.

out of frustration at not finding a decent blackened tofu recipe i made one up, using several recipes online as examples. the trick in frying the tofu is to remove the excess moisture from the tofu first. i always add less thyme-it not being my favorite herb...add more if you wish. oh, this might be a good time to state that this is very spicy! since i've posted this recipe i have actually reduced the amount of pepper.

my first time ever cooking trout, altho i've eaten it twice at o'charleys restaurant. delicious, easy, and tasty way to prepare trout.. found this online, but i did list the type of trout i just fixed. the cooking time depends on the thickness of your fillets. also, i've tried this with catfish fillets too, and its just as good.it would work on any of your favorite fish fillets.

a different way to serve turkey. this is not a slow roasted bird! if you are grilliterate, this can be done using the indirect method with a little hickory or mesquite added to the charcoal.
