Blackened Snapper

So this awful winter weather has finally broken. What a better way to celebrate by egging! Tonight I did some blackened snapper for the wife and I with a side of brussel sproutes and yukon gold potatoes. Coated the taters with evo, garlic powder and kosher salt. I placed a spoon full of butter in AF and wrapped the taters. Cooked them for about 40 min and then pulled. Coated the sproutes with evo, kosher salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Cooked those in my BGE veggie wok at 400 for 40 min. At this point took the taters out of the AF and placed back on the grill. Cooked the taters and sproutes for another 15 min. I then cranked the egg up to 500-550 with my CI skillet inside to preheat. Let it stabblize for about 30 min. Coated the fish with butter and Chef Paul Prudhomme's blackened redfish magic. Put meat side down first. Cooked for 2.5 min with the lid open (these were pretty thick steaks). Flipped and cooked for another 2 min with the lid closed. Pulled and plated atop some rice pilaf. Washed it all down with a glass (or 3) of Woodford Double Oak. Everthing was fantastic and I really enjoyed cooking this one the egg. Best part...no smoke or foul smell in the house for a couple days ;)

    I REALLY need to eat more fish!! Especially blackened fish! Yours looks great!! 

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Chef Paul Prudhomme's blackened redfish magic is one of my favorite rubs of all time. I use it on all kinds of stuff.

    I love using it on a mix of shrimp, crab and lobster, blackened in a CI skillet, over angel hair pasta.  Great meal.

    Great looking meal! Double starches, huh? ;) Wish I could have some, really craving some potatoes right now.

    The potatoes and rice were for the wife.  I try to stay Paleo/Primal as much as possible.
