A flavorful and smoky blackened fish recipe with a spicy Cajun twist.
Combine all the spices in a mixing bowl to create the spice mix.
Mix the spices thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and coat them evenly with the spice mix.
Ensure the fish is dry before seasoning to help the spices adhere better.
Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add butter.
Wait until the butter is hot and bubbling before adding the fish.
Place the seasoned fish fillets in the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side until blackened and cooked through.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Serve the blackened fish fillets hot with your choice of sides.
Garnish with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon for added flavor.
