A flavorful and easy-to-make Cajun-spiced tilapia recipe that brings a touch of Louisiana to your dinner table.
Combine the thyme, oregano, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and paprika in a mixing bowl.
Mix the spices thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
Coat the tilapia fillets evenly with the spice blend.
Press the spice blend gently onto the fillets to help it adhere better.
Heat the butter in a frying pan over medium heat until it starts to sizzle.
Ensure the butter is hot enough to sear the fish but not burning.
Place the seasoned tilapia fillets in the pan and cook for 4 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through.
Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
Serve the cooked tilapia fillets hot with your choice of sides.
Garnish with fresh parsley or lemon wedges for added flavor and presentation.
