About Blackened fish fillet

Blackened Fish Fillet is a flavorful dish rooted in Cajun cuisine, renowned for its bold spices and smoky aroma. The fish, often tilapia, cod, or catfish, is coated generously in a mixture of paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, thyme, and other seasonings, then cooked in a hot skillet until a dark, flavorful crust forms. This cooking method enhances the natural flavors while keeping the flesh tender. Nutritionally, blackened fish is a good source of lean protein and omega-3 fatty acids, promoting heart health and supporting muscle repair. The dish is relatively low in carbohydrates, but sodium levels can be high depending on the seasoning blend. Pairing with steamed vegetables or a light salad can create a balanced meal. Avoid excessive added fats during cooking to keep the dish on the healthier side without compromising the signature smoky spice.
