Editors Review
Most folks associate blackened with redfish, but other fish blacken just as well, such as white fish, catfish, or salmon. There is only one word to describe this fish fillet dish, “ Super easy”. It is so quick and easy that thawing out the fish takes more time than cooking it. Any kind of white fish fillets will work for this simple, spicy Cajun blackened fish. Instead of dipping the fillets in melted butter, brush it generously with olive oil and serve it with salsa or guacamole!Chef
