Easy Blackened Cod

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.
