This bold, smoky, and spicy dish uses the iconic Blackened Red Fish Magic seasoning to create a dark, crispy crust that locks in flavor and moisture. It pairs perfectly with any protein (fish, chicken, steak) and hearty vegetables. The high heat “blackening” technique gives a dramatic sear and complex flavor without overcooking the interior. Serve with a fresh squeeze of citrus or a simple cream sauce for balance.

Ingredients

  • 4 fish fillets (6–8 oz each; redfish, snapper, salmon, cod, or halibut)
  • 2–3 Tbsp Blackened Red Fish Magic spice blend
  • 3 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • Optional: Lemon wedges, for serving

Directions

  1. Prep: Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels.

  2. Brush both sides with melted butter.

  3. Sprinkle Blackened Red Fish Magic generously on both sides. Set uncooked seasoned fish aside.

  4. Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot (almost smoking). (!) Turn on a vent or open windows—there will be smoke.

  5. Place fillets seasoned-side down into the hot skillet.

  6. Cook undisturbed for about 2–3 minutes until a dark crust forms.

  7. Carefully flip and cook another 2–3 minutes on the other side until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.

  8. Plate each blackened fish fillet alongside a scoop of your favorite veggies.
