Rinse and pat dry your grouper filets.

Get out and measure your seasoning ingredients.

Combine all ingredients for blackened seasoning in a small bowl.

Rub grouper on both sides with seasoning.

Place a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat and heat oil until a drop of water flicked in it dances.

Once oil is hot, place grouper onto the skillet.

Cook for 2-3 minutes per side and filets are golden brown.

Juice lemon over all of the grouper once cooked and removed from heat.

Check to be sure fish is cooked to 140 degrees before serving.

Enjoy every bite!
