A flavorful and easy-to-make blackened fish recipe with a Cajun twist.
Combine all the spices in a mixing bowl to create the spice mix.
Mixing the spices thoroughly ensures an even coating on the fish.
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and coat them evenly with the spice mix.
Drying the fish helps the spices adhere better and prevents steaming.
Heat the butter in a cast iron skillet over high heat until melted and hot.
Using a cast iron skillet helps achieve the desired blackened crust.
Place the fish fillets in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until blackened and cooked through.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Serve the blackened fish with fresh lemon wedges on the side.
Squeezing fresh lemon juice over the fish enhances its flavor.
