Blackened Fish Recipe – How to Blacken Fish
FOR THE BLACKENING SEASONING
2 tablespoons smoked paprika or use regular paprika
1 tablespoon cayenne powder use more for a spicier blend
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon sea salt

FOR THE FISH
4 fish fillets 6 ounces each, skinless – I used Icelandic cod today, but any fish fillet will do

Cooking Directions
Mix all of the blackening spices together in a small bowl. Make sure it is blended evenly.
Brush one side of each fish fillet generously with melted butter.
Generously spoon on the blackening seasoning.
Heat a large cast iron skillet to high heat and add the salmon fillets, buttery-seasoned side down.
Cook 3-5 minutes to blacken.
Brush or drizzle on the remaining butter, then generously add more seasoning.
Flip the fish fillet and cook another 2-3 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flaky.
Serve!
