The cooking times I have listed in the recipe below will vary slightly depending on the size and thickness of your fillets. This is going to put off some smoke, but that’s okay its all just part of this cooking style. Also it you might want to consider removing your smoke detectors in the kitchen and possibly opening a window. Teflon pans just don’t get as hot as we need to really blacken the fish properly. Cast iron is able to get extremely hot and heats up evenly so that one side isn’t hotter than the other. It is also essential to have a well seasoned cast iron skillet for this. Any added moisture will keep the fish from blackening well and will make it mushy. It is really important that you really dry your fillets well. Once you have your blackening seasoning all ready, it’s time to prepare and cook your fish. Here is my basic recipe for blackening seasoning, feel free to play with it to match your tastes because lord knows I do! You can probably stroll down the spice aisle of your grocery store and find plenty of pre-mixed blackening seasonings or you can just open up your own spice cabinet and mix up your own.
You also need a good blackening seasoning which will flavor your fish and help to give that blackened crust that is the signature of this style.

Well, the fish market in our town, Big Catch Seafood ( ), had a great special on Red Snapper so it was what was for dinner.īlackening is a great way to cook any fish that can stand up to the high heat. Now we jump at the chance to have it whenever there is a good sale. After some internet research on the best ways to cook the fish we finally settled on blackening it and I am so glad we did! It came out amazing, and quickly became one of our favorite types of fish. Neither of us had ever had the fish before and we were very excited to try something new. A few years back he surprised me with some beautiful fillets of red snapper for dinner.
