Instructions

  1. Combine spices: Combine all the spices together and rub generously over fish fillets.
  2. Cook the fish: In a large non stick skillet heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned fish fillets and cook for 5 to 7 minutes on each side until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  3. Serve: Serve with salsa.

Notes

  • Overcooking fish can really ruin it, so tend it carefully while cooking.
  • Using fresh fish when available can't be beat.
  • If using frozen fish, make sure you pat dry the thawed fish.
  • Although blackened fish when cooked can appear to look burnt, it really isn't.
  • I used a non-stick pan, but a cast iron skillet can also be used.
  • Store leftover blackened fish in a shallow covered container to allow the fish to cool to the proper temperature more quickly. Cooked fish can be stored for up to 2-3 days in a refrigerator at 40°F or less.
  • Wrap fish in plastic wrap and place in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 1 month.
