    This Easy Blackened Cod Recipe is quite delightful. The buttery cod combined with the cajun spices is delicious! This quick and easy fish recipe only takes 5 minutes to prep and 10 minutes to make which makes it a great weeknight dinner option.

    What Makes This Recipe So Good?

    • First off, it is SO easy to make!
    • Secondly, the pan seared cod literally melts in your mouth. It is so good. 

    Blackened Cod Ingredients:

    • Cod-I like getting mine from Butcher Box. Every month they send me a monthly supply of all of my favorite proteins-fish, beef, poultry and all I have to do is defrost the night before! I love having their stuff because I know I can count on the great quality and the best best of the best. If you use my link HERE you can get a free gift with every order. 

    Blackened Cod Seasoning-

    Traditional Cajun seasoning has a nice kick and this recipe has just that!

    • Salt-This is a must for Cajun seasoning. 
    • Chili powder & paprika-For a nice kick.
    • Garlic powder & oregano-For flavoring.

    How To Make Blackened Cod:

    • First, dry off your cod with a paper towel. Add some ghee to a pan on medium heat. 
    • Now, mix up your spices and sprinkle on the cod. 
    • Next, add the cod to the pan for 5 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes. 
    • Finally, remove the cod from the pan.

    What Should I Serve This Blackened Cod?

    • I love using this recipe to make Blackened Cod Tacos! To make tacos I suggest keeping it simple with just a tortilla, cod, a creamy slaw and some pickled veggies like onions!
    • If you are going for an even simpler route, this goes great over creamy slaw. 

    How Should I Reheat Cod?

    • If you are planning on meal prepping cod, I suggest not mixing it with anything. My favorite way to reheat it is by putting it in the air fryer for 5-10 minutes on 350. 
    • To reheat it on the stovetop, place 1 tsp of oil and pan sear for 2-5 minutes; flipping halfway.
