Delicious Blackened Fish Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together paprika, dry mustard, cayenne pepper, cumin, black pepper, white pepper, thyme and salt; set aside. Heat a heavy cast iron pan on high heat until extremely hot, about 10 minutes.
• Pour 3/4 cup melted butter into a shallow dish. Dip each fillet into butter, turning once to coat both sides. Sprinkle both sides of fillets with spice mixture, and gently pat mixture onto fish.
• Place fillets into hot pan without crowding. Carefully pour about 1 teaspoon melted butter over each fillet. Cook until fish has a charred appearance, about 2 minutes. Turn fillets, spoon 1 teaspoon melted butter over each, and cook until charred. Repeat with remaining fish.

Steps:

• Combine all spices/dry ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
• Spread the spice mixture onto a flat plate.
• Press the fish fillets firmly into the spices, coating both sides.
• Heat the olive oil until almost smoking in a large heavy skillet.
• Cook the fish about 2 1/2 minutes on each side for fillets less than 3/4 inch thick.
• Increase time slightly for thicker fillets.

Steps:

• Mix first 8 ingredients together, and drench the fish in the mixture.
• Drizzle with melted butter and sauté in a very hot (not burning), heavy (cast iron!) skillet until blackened, only a few minutes per side.
• Turn and repeat on other side.
• Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Combine coleslaw mix, onion, vinegar, oil, mustard, sugar, celery seed, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Stir until evenly combined. Set aside.
• Lay cod fillets on a clean work surface. Sprinkle 1/2 of the blackening seasoning and 1/2 of the paprika over the fillets. Flip fillets over and sprinkle with remaining blackening seasoning and paprika. Brush olive oil over both sides of the fillets.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Grill fish for 3 minutes. Flip and grill for 3 minutes more.
• Cut fillets in half and place each half on a hamburger bun. Top with reserved slaw.

Steps:

• Combine all spices on a plate.
• melt butter in a skillet.
• coat fish with spices.
• cook fillets in melted butter, about 3 min on each side.

Steps:

• Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat until hot, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, rub tilapia with Cajun seasoning and set aside.
• Combine Greek yogurt and Sriracha in a bowl; mix well. Place mixture onto one side of the bun; add red cabbage and avocado.
• Cook fish in the hot skillet or griddle until almost black, but not burned, about 2 minutes per side; it will should be crunchy on the outside but flaky on the inside. Place fish on the prepared bun.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, dried oregano, onion powder, cumin, salt, brown sugar and cayenne pepper. Sprinkle the mixture as evenly as possible over both sides of the fish fillets.
• Combine all of the Avocado-Cilantro Sauce ingredients in a food processor or blender. Pulse until well-combined; set aside.
• Combine all of the Slaw ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.
• Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Once heated, add in the fillets (a few at a time if you can't fit them all at once). Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the outside is blackened and the fish flakes apart easily. Note: try not to move them around so as to achieve a blackening affect. Too much movement, also, encourages the spice mixture to stick to the bottom of the pan.
• Remove the fish from the heat, and if desired, warm the tortillas in the same skillet over medium heat, cooking for about 30 seconds on each side.
• Break up the cooked fillets into 2-3" pieces. Distribute the fish evenly between the tortillas and top with Slaw and Avocado-Cilantro Sauce. You may garnish with additional fresh cilantro leaves and/or jalapeno, if desired.
