CAJUN BLACKENED FISH {+ VIDEO}
"Blackening" is a classic Cajun cooking technique which involves searing spice coated seafood and meats in a hot skillet so the rub turns black (but not burnt). I think the black crust and white juicy flesh inside looks so stunning! I served this with a simple Corn Butter Rice Salad - refer to the Notes for the recipe. This is adapted from this Blackened Fish Tacos recipe, a guest post here on RecipeTin Eats by Kathleen of Hapa Nom Nom. Watch the video on my YouTube Channel!

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.

CAJUN BLACKENED CATFISH
This is a recipe that I obtained from a very good Cajun friend who is a native of Lafayette, Louisiana. His family adopted me (friendly) many years ago and we have swapped Cajun and Creole recipes through the years.

Steps:
- In a shallow bowl, mix together the black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, parsley, cayenne pepper, kosher salt, oregano, and thyme until thoroughly combined. Press the catfish fillets into the spice mixture to thoroughly coat.
- Arrange a portable heat source outdoors, such as a butane burner or side burner of a gas grill. Melt butter in a glass or metal bowl. Light the burner, and place a large cast-iron skillet onto the burner over high heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of melted butter into the skillet; set remaining 1/2 cup of butter aside.
- When the butter in the skillet is smoking hot, lay the catfish fillets into the skillet. Cook until the spices are burned onto the fillets and the catfish is opaque and flaky inside, about 3 minutes per side. Don't breathe smoke from burning spices. To serve, pour remaining 1/2 cup of butter over the catfish.

- This is my version of a classic Southern dish, but just a word of warning: it is seriously spicy! The way I heard it, this brilliant rub was invented by an African-American chef working at Commander’s Palace, a posh New Orleans restaurant.
- The famous head chef there, Paul Prudhomme, took this recipe, added his own little tweaks and introduced blackened fish to the rest of the world.
- Basically it’s a bold rub that fragrantly flavours fish and meat and goes dark when it cooks, thanks to the paprika and garlic.Traditionally this dish has been made with the locally caught redfish, but it’s also great with any whole or filleted white fish.
