anyone have a recipe for blackened fish?

[Jamie M]

I have some fresh tuna steaks that I wanted to try to blacken. Spicy blackened fish is one of my favorite thingsto eat in a restaurant, but my attempts to try it at home have been complete failures.

I have some good cajun spices, and a good, seasoned cast iron frying pan (if that's what I should be using). I've tried different cooking times, I've tried cooking the fish only for a minute on each side in the cast iron frying pan, then completing the cooking in an oven at 375 degrees. I've tried cooking with oil, with butter, and with nothing. Nothing has worked as well as I would like.

Any suggestions??
