Best 5 Blackened Flounder Recipes

BLACKENED FLOUNDER: AIR FRYER & OVEN BAKED OPTIONS

Steps:

• Spread an ample amount (around 3-4 tablespoons) of blackening spice to the bottom of a large plate. Place each fish fillet on the spice-filled plate and coat both sides of the fish with the spice until it is fully covered on all sides with the spice.
• Spray the bottom of the air fryer basket with cooking spray and then carefully place the fish fillets in the bottom of the air fryer basket with a spatula. Spray the top of each piece of fish with a light coating of cooking spray and close up the air fryer.
• Set your air fryer to cook for 4 minutes at 400*F. Take the basket from the air fryer, use your spatula to flip each flounder fillet over to the other side, place the air fryer basket back in the air fryer, and cook for another 4 minutes at 400*F.
• Check to make sure that the internal temperature of your fish reaches 145*F before removing from the air fryer. Allow the fish to cool for 1-2 minutes before removing the pieces from the air fryer, garnishing, and serving while still warm!

BLACKENED FISH RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, Old Bay, and cayenne pepper (optional) and mix.
• Lay the fish filets flat and sprinkle seasonings on the first side, lightly pat them in, and then sprinkle the remaining seasoning on the back side and pat in. This can sit in the refrigerator for up to an hour seasoned.
• Heat a large cast iron skillet over high heat for 2-3 minutes, then reduce to medium high and add the butter.
• Once the butter is melted and starting to brown, but not smoke, season the fish with salt and pepper to taste, then put it flat in the skillet. Do not crowd the skillet. Cook the fish in batches if necessary.
• Let the fish cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side without moving or checking it, then flip and cook 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until it reaches the desired doneness, or about 145˚F. Cooking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of your fish filets.
• Remove the fish from the skillet (to prevent it from continuing to cook) and serve warm with fresh parsley or lemon juice if desired.
