The Perfect Blackened Fish Recipe // Easy Way to Blacken Any Fish You Have!

What’s up, y’all! In today’s video, I’ll show you the easiest recipe and method for how to blacken fish. Now, this recipe can be used for all types of fish you have on hand, which makes it the perfect and easy weeknight meal or dinner for you and your family. You can use tilapia, snapper, whiting, catfish, monkfish, etc., or whatever you have on hand. This recipe also cooks pretty quickly in under 5 minutes depending on the type of fish you choose to use. All you will need is your fish of choice, butter, cajun (all purpose) seasoning, black pepper, salt (optional) and paprika. All you need to do is season the fish, then place in a skillet with some butter and cook it until it blackens to your liking and develops a nice crust. This should take no longer than 5-6 minutes depending on the fish you use and its thickness. I mention it in the video, but what I mean by “blackened” is simply developing a nice crust and color on the fish while still keeping the fish nice and juicy on the inside. You don’t need to cook the fish in the skillet for too much longer than 5-6 minutes or you run the risk of overcooking it. Hope you enjoy the recipe!

INGREDIENTS
- fish (fillet) of your choice

I just made this today with flounder and it' absolutely delicious. So tender and moist with just the right kick of Cajun heat. Thanks for this one.

This might be my favorite cooking video on youtube.

when your butter browns like that it's burning, to keep it from doing that add 1/2 tbs of olive oil. It will def taste better.

I made a YT post and tagged this video cuz the fish is that good! If y'all follow this recipe exactly, you won't have any problems. Amazing! 😋😋😋

I usually incorporate a super, super thin layer of corn starch (or potato, whatever) on top of the seasoning when I blacken fish - it’s not traditional but I find it helps get that glassy, snappy texture I want, it adds to the depth of the color, and it even helps the seasoning maintain a little better flavor, I imagine because it’s a bit protected from the heat

I have some walleye in my fridge now and had no idea how I was going to fix it. I’m gluten free and lower carb, so I didn’t want to use flour or cornmeal. This looks PERFECT! Thank you 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽!

[laureljames]

I’m sorry that people do not know how to give polite constructive criticism in todays society. I personally enjoyed your video. I usually watch a video through completely before attempting to replicate on my own. I loved your video and am so excited to cook mine now.
I’ll let you know how I do. I have never cooked fish in this method but sure love to eat it.

I do the Cajun seasoning all day on my catfish granted I always fry mine maybe I'll try this way since it looks delicious.
