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:
- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet or pan to evenly distribute heat and prevent burning.
- Make sure the pan is hot enough before adding the seasoned food. This will help create a quick sear and prevent the food from sticking.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the food from cooking evenly.
- Flip the food only once. Over-flipping can result in dry, tough food.
- Let the food rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and the flavors to meld.

Blackening seasoning is a delicious and easy way to add flavor to your favorite foods. It can be used on a variety of meats, seafood, and vegetables. With a few simple tips, you can easily create delicious blackened dishes that will impress your family and friends.
