Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cod fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon basil
- ¼ teaspoon oregano
- ¼ teaspoon thyme
Instructions
- Combine all seasoning in a small mixing bowl, or on a plate to make homemade blackened seasoning. Skip this step if you're using store bought seasoning.
- Pat the cod fish fillets dry with a paper towel. This will help the seasoning stick better to the fish.
- Coat the cod fillets with the blackened seasoning on all sides.
- Heat up the oil in a skillet on medium to high heat. Pan fry the seasoned cod for 3-5 minutes on both sides, or until the seasoning has blackened, and the fish fillets flake at the touch of a fork.
