Cajun Fish

This recipe was originally for salmon, but I have used it for whatever fish we have... sole, haddock. I have also used it on chicken! Very tasty!

3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
3 cloves garlic, pressed
3/4 cup vermouth (or use balsamic vinegar and apple juice mixed, half and half)
6 4-ounce fish fillets
Lemon wedges

In a large skillet over medium high heat, melt half the butter. Add the fish and brown on each side about, 2 minutes per side. Remove fish and keep warm. Add remaining butter to the pan and add Cajun seasoning and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Then add the vermouth and cook for 3 minutes or so, again stirring constantly. Add fish back to the pan and cook until fish flakes when tested with a fork. Serve with lemon wedges.
