About Blackened fish

Blackened Fish is a flavorful dish originating from Cajun and Creole cuisine, popular in Southern U.S. cooking. It is typically made by coating a lean fish fillet, such as tilapia, salmon, or catfish, with a mixture of bold spices including paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, and cayenne pepper. The fillet is then cooked in a hot cast-iron skillet until the seasoning forms a dark, smoky crust. This preparation method is low in added fat, especially if minimal oil or butter is used. Blackened Fish is rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health and brain function. However, those monitoring sodium intake should be mindful of the seasoning blend. It’s a nutritious, satisfying choice when paired with vegetables or whole grains, offering a balanced and vitamin-packed meal.
