What is the best recipe for blackening seasoning? (For fish)?

Question

The premixed seasoning has some "extra" ingredients in them that are not healthy. I want to make my own. What has worked for you?

Answer 1

I have tried many but this is the BEST. Can also be bought in a jar in the seasoning aisle. I also like Tone's Cajun seasoning.

I like to use this to make blackened scallops, which is a total foodgasm. (You have to use fresh, though. Any previously frozen scallops have so much water soaked into them that blackening just doesn't work, all the seasoning just sorta clumps off.) Just, as ya know, have a really good vent over your stove when blackening, or do it outside.

Haven't tried this on fish, but it does work great for the scallops.

Kelli (nice name..mine is Kelly...lol) anyway I don't like fish but on cooking shows - mix some course salt and a black pepper mixture together - then coat your fish with butter or whatever oil type ingredient (olive oil? butter?) and roll it in the blackened mixture. This gives it a salt and pepper taste. you can try one as a test first of course before you "ruin" it all.....good luck! Also I see some cooks place lemon slices inside the fish to add more flavor.
