Skillet Tilapia

 

Got a grill going and used it as a smoker. Coals and cherry wood on one side for indirect heat.

While thats heating up I got the fish ready.

 Drizzle a little canola oil on both sides of the fish and rub it around. Then add the seasoning blend to both sides. Set aside while the grill heats up.

 Place a skillet over the heat side, when its hot put some oil in it. Place the fish in and sear one side. Put the skillet on the indirect side and turn fish over, drizzle some lemon juice on them. Fresh squeezed lemon if you can. Close the lid and get the temp down a bit. Check the fish about 5 minutes check if they flake easily, if not close lid and check another 5 minutes. Don't over cook them. Just like baking them in the oven but over coals and wood.

The blackened seasoning I used is below or use your own it will come out good.
