BLACKENED FISH

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together paprika, dry mustard, cayenne pepper, cumin, black pepper, white pepper, thyme and salt; set aside. Heat a heavy cast iron pan on high heat until extremely hot, about 10 minutes.
• Pour 3/4 cup melted butter into a shallow dish. Dip each fillet into butter, turning once to coat both sides. Sprinkle both sides of fillets with spice mixture, and gently pat mixture onto fish.
• Place fillets into hot pan without crowding. Carefully pour about 1 teaspoon melted butter over each fillet. Cook until fish has a charred appearance, about 2 minutes. Turn fillets, spoon 1 teaspoon melted butter over each, and cook until charred. Repeat with remaining fish.

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Prepare a high (about 500 F) gas or charcoal grill fire. Put a heavy cast-iron skillet or griddle on the grill grates. Get it good and hot for about 15 to 30 minutes. Alternatively, you can pre heat your cast iron skillet over medium heat on the stove for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Reserve 1/2 cup of melted butter for serving. Pour the remaining 3/4 cup melted butter into a shallow dish.
• Dip each fillet into butter.
• Sprinkle Cajun blackening spices on both sides.
• Place into the skillet, in batches, if necessary, and cook until the bottom is almost black but not burned, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Carefully flip so fillets do not break.
• Pour about a teaspoon of ​ butter on the cooked side and continue cooking about 2 to 3 minutes or until the fillet is finished (internal temperature of 150 F).
• Remove fish from pan and place onto a large platter or individual plates. Serve immediately with the reserved butter for dipping.

BLACKENED FLOUNDER: AIR FRYER & OVEN BAKED OPTIONS

Steps:

• Spread an ample amount (around 3-4 tablespoons) of blackening spice to the bottom of a large plate. Place each fish fillet on the spice-filled plate and coat both sides of the fish with the spice until it is fully covered on all sides with the spice.
• Spray the bottom of the air fryer basket with cooking spray and then carefully place the fish fillets in the bottom of the air fryer basket with a spatula. Spray the top of each piece of fish with a light coating of cooking spray and close up the air fryer.
• Set your air fryer to cook for 4 minutes at 400*F. Take the basket from the air fryer, use your spatula to flip each flounder fillet over to the other side, place the air fryer basket back in the air fryer, and cook for another 4 minutes at 400*F.
• Check to make sure that the internal temperature of your fish reaches 145*F before removing from the air fryer. Allow the fish to cool for 1-2 minutes before removing the pieces from the air fryer, garnishing, and serving while still warm!

BLACKENED FISH RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, Old Bay, and cayenne pepper (optional) and mix.
• Lay the fish filets flat and sprinkle seasonings on the first side, lightly pat them in, and then sprinkle the remaining seasoning on the back side and pat in. This can sit in the refrigerator for up to an hour seasoned.
• Heat a large cast iron skillet over high heat for 2-3 minutes, then reduce to medium high and add the butter.
• Once the butter is melted and starting to brown, but not smoke, season the fish with salt and pepper to taste, then put it flat in the skillet. Do not crowd the skillet. Cook the fish in batches if necessary.
• Let the fish cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side without moving or checking it, then flip and cook 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until it reaches the desired doneness, or about 145˚F. Cooking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of your fish filets.
• Remove the fish from the skillet (to prevent it from continuing to cook) and serve warm with fresh parsley or lemon juice if desired.

BLACKENED FLOUNDER WITH MANGO SLAW

• Mix paprika, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Rub spice mix onto flounder.
• Mix mango, pineapple, red onion, bell pepper, vinegar, and chili-lime seasoning in a bowl until combined. Mix yogurt, lime juice, and hot sauce together in another bowl.
• Spray a pan with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Place flounder in the pan and cook, without turning, until blackened, about 4 minutes. Flip, and cook until the other side is blackened, about 3 more minutes.
• Place flounder on top of hot rice. Top with mango slaw and drizzle lime crema sauce over top. Garnish with green onion.
