- 1/4 tsp paprika
Instructions

- In a bowl mix dry rub mixture. Break up any clumps of brown sugar.
- Sprinkle it on top of your fish and gently press down. Lift up and allow excess to fall off.
- Cover baking sheet with non stick foil. Lay fillet on top.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes. (thick fillets I bake for 10)Then switch to broil hi for 2 minutes to crisp the top just a bit. (just a tip: check to see how well done your fish is in the center already, if it's already as done as you'd like it I would skip broil step)
