How to cook deliciously - Cajun Red Snapper

1. Stage

Mix paprika, black pepper, thyme, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and cayenne pepper on a large piece of wax paper.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter with oil. Brush both sides of snapper fillets with butter-oil mixture; reserve remaining butter-oil mixture. Coat both sides of fillets with paprika mixture.
