Blackened cod is a flavorful dish rooted in Cajun cuisine, known for its bold spices and smoky char. The dish features fresh cod fillets coated with a blend of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and other herbs, then seared over high heat to create a crispy, blackened crust. Cod is a lean, nutrient-rich fish, offering an excellent source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins like B12 and D. Its low calorie content makes it a heart-healthy choice. However, the use of butter or oil in the cooking process could add extra calories and fat. To keep the dish lighter, opt for minimal oil or heart-healthy alternatives like olive oil. Blackened cod pairs beautifully with steamed vegetables or fresh salads, making it a balanced and nutritious option for seafood lovers.
