A spicy and tasty fish recipe which is very quick and easy to prepare and cook. This recipe uses haddock fillets but if you want to push the boat out for a special occasion you could use any firm fleshed fish such as tuna, swordfish or cod. Cook on the griddle for a lovely ridged appearance or in an ordinary frying pan. A tempting mid week lunch or main meal dish, Cajun style haddock is great for a barbeque too. Serve with new potatoes, potato wedges coleslaw and salad.

  3. Coat both sides of the fish with the seasoning mix and press it on well.
  4. Brush a ridged grill pan or frying pan with a little oil and heat until very hot.
  5. Add the fish and cook over a high heat for 4 – 5 minutes until the underside is well browned.
  6. Brush the fish with a little more oil if necessary, then turn it over and cook for a further 4 – 5 minutes or until the fillets have cooked through. Serve immediately.
