Notes
- This recipe makes about 3/4 cup of seasoning mix, or enough to season about 6 pounds of fish filets.
- To use seasoning, sprinkle 1 lb of fish on both side with 2 tablespoons of blackened fish seasoning, then pat in. Fish can sit seasoned in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour. Season with salt right before cooking.
- To make a true blackened seasoning use the cayenne and black pepper to create the heat in the spice.
- To create a milder, kid-friendly blackened fish, sometimes called bronzed fish, omit the cayenne and lightly season with black pepper.
- This seasoning mix is also good on:
- Store in an airtight container in a cool dry place. When stored like this the blackening Seasoning should stay fresh for up to a year. Some also recommend putting it in the freezer to further extend the life but I have never found that necessary. I run out long before it would ever go bad.
- How to Scale: Double, triple, or more! This recipe can easily be scaled up to make a big batch of blackening Seasoning. This will allow you to keep it on hand for longer periods of time, especially when you start throwing it in everything as your “secret ingredient” like I do!
