Cajun Blackened Fish - An incredible flavour explosion, so easy to make!

Cajun Blackened Fish

A number of months in the past, the uber gifted Kathleen from Hapa Nom Nom did a visitor submit and shared Blackened Fish Tacos.

Seeing that recipe actually drove house how a lot superb meals there’s on this world and the way even when I stay to be 178 (?!?), that I’ll by no means get by means of my ever rising checklist of issues to make, meals to attempt, eating places to go to, international locations to see and experiences to have.

I had my first actual style of Blackened Fish once I visited New Orleans again in 2009. In an area diner, a very good trek away from the vacationer strip. I knew it was going to be good after we gave the taxi driver the identify of the diner and he nodded his approval, didn’t even want the deal with. 🙂

That was 6 years in the past, and it was solely when Kathleen posted the Blackened Fish Tacos that I remembered the blackened fish I had in New Orleans and the way I all the time needed to make it.

So lastly! I’ve! And it’s SO GOOD in tacos but it surely’s additionally SO GOOD by itself I needed to share it!

I am OBSESSED with this spice mix. I use it for everything!! Fish, shrimp, chicken etc

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dry mustard
  • 3/4 tsp salt (table salt)
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (or to taste)
  • Good grind of black pepper
  • 4 firm white fish fillets (about 150g/5oz each) (Note 1)
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Combine Spice Mix in a shallow dish and mix.
  2. Coat both sides of the fish fillets with the Spice Mix, shaking off excess.
  3. Heat oil in a large heavy based skillet over medium high heat.
  4. Add fish and cook until the rub turns black, then flip and cook the other side until the fish is cooked to your taste. (Note 2)
  5. Serve immediately. I served mine with a buttery Corn Rice Salad - refer to the Notes for the recipe.

Notes

1. I used skinless gem fish fillets that I cut in half. You can use any firm fish fillets you want actually! It works really well even with salmon and tuna. The flavour of the spice rub is very strong so it stands up well even with "fishy" fish (like Mackerel).
2. The cook time for fish will differ depending on size. My fillets were 150g/5oz each and about 1.5cm / 3/5" thick at the thickest part. They were at room temperature and took about 2 minutes on each side.
3. Buttery Corn Rice - Combine cooked corn kernels (I usually use frozen), cooked day old rice, chopped shallots/scallions with melted butter, salt and pepper.
4. Nutrition per serving, fish only.
