TOM'S BLACKENED SEASONING
For Blackened fish or chicken (great on any type of fish, especially on denser types of fish). The nice thing about this recipe is that the dish doesn't taste burnt even though you can get a nice blackened look. The sugar and the thyme caramelize and give it a wonderful flavor. All my friends love it.

Tips:
- Choose the right fish: Firm-fleshed fish like tuna, swordfish, salmon, or halibut are best for blackening.
- Make sure the fish is dry: Pat the fish dry with paper towels before seasoning to ensure the seasoning adheres properly.
- Use a cast iron skillet: Cast iron skillets retain heat well, creating a nice sear on the fish.
- Heat the skillet until smoking: The skillet should be very hot before adding the fish. This will help create the signature blackened crust.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: Cook the fish in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the skillet and steaming the fish instead of searing it.
- Don't move the fish around: Once you add the fish to the skillet, let it cook undisturbed for a few minutes to develop a crust. Then, carefully flip the fish and cook for a few more minutes on the other side.
- Serve immediately: Blackened fish is best served immediately after cooking, while the crust is still crispy.
Conclusion:
Blackened fish is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and flavorful meal. With the right ingredients and a little bit of know-how, you can easily create a blackened fish dish that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a new way to cook fish, give blackened fish a try!
