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.
