Cedar Plank Blackened Halibut

This is the best fish recipe ever!! I especially like the way the cedar plank smells while the fish is cooking. The halibut is so yummy even Beck will eat fish. Of course, Beck's is plain because he doesn't like spicy food, but he still is eating fish (he said this is better than fish sticks, a ringing endorsement from an eight-year-old.)

Here is the spice roundup:
Spices all mixed together.
Most important, super fresh fish. Daddy gets the big piece!!

Ingredients:

• Cedar plank, soaked in water for at least an hour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons minced fresh tarragon
• 1 teaspoon cajun blackened spice (Cajun's Choice)
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed fennel seeds
• 1 pound halibut
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Mix all spices together in a bowl.

Rub halibut with 1 tablespoon oil.

Top halibut with spice mixture.

Sear halibut in hot pan or skillet with remaining oil. Cook seasoned side down for about 1 minute, until very brown on bottom.

Transfer halibut to cedar plank with seasoned side up.

Barbeque at 400 degrees until fish flakes easily, about 8 minutes.

Serve with lemon wedges.

I call this recipe "Fantastic Fish." Enjoy!
