    1 Fish Fillet

Oven Blackened Fish is for people who like Cajun-style blackened fish but don’t like the smoke or mess of pan blackening the fish. Some method for cooking blackened fish are dangerous for the novice cook, and who wants to thrown out a good piece of fish?

You can use your favorite fish; red or white for this recipe. Fish fillets should be at least 1-inch thick due to the 15 to 20 minute bake time to prevent over baking and drying out the fish. For thinner fillets, reduce bake time.

Like all recipes on this website, adjust the seasoning and amount of rub to your taste.
