Experimenting always brings great results

This blackened seasoning also tastes great on chicken, scallops and shrimp!

Blackened Salmon with Greek Yogurt by Rica

My mother is from New Orleans and we grew up eating every kind of seafood. Since moving to North Louisiana she misses fried fish terribly. So blackening and searing seemed to be the best way to compensate for fresh fish.

this gonna smoke up the house

I'll admit that the 'blackening' of the fish in this recipe was accidental when I underestimated the sugar content in the mirin. It turned out to be one of those happy accidents, because the char gave the salmon a slightly smoky bitterness, almost as if it'd been grilled. As for the crispy ginger, don't skimp like I did in the above picture. Make tons, because it adds a delicious zing to the plate

Another great way to enjoy fish

Blackened Tilapia Sandwich

Cajun cuisine is one of those types the hubby and I absolutely love, but hardly ever eat for some reason. The hubby was craving some blackened anything the other day, so I made this for him using the blackened seasoning I made and it turned out great! It was the first time I had cooked with said seasoning and I was pleased the results met what I've seen in restaurants where we've enjoyed blackened fish or chicken in the past. He said it definitely has to be made again, and with more things! Lol
