Blackened Trout

My first time ever cooking trout, altho I've eaten it twice at O'Charleys restaurant. Delicious, easy, and tasty way to prepare trout.. found this online, but I did list the type of trout I just fixed. The cooking time depends on the thickness of your fillets. Also, I've tried this with Catfish fillets too, and its just as good.It would work on any of your favorite fish fillets.
