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.
