Whether cooking at home or over a campfire, blackened seasoning can spice up any meal. Whether you’re adding it to steak, chicken, fish, or vegetables, this homemade blackened seasoning recipe adds a a spicy kick is easy to make. Plus homemade seasoning/spic blends are cheaper that store bought seasonings.

Blackened Seasoning Recipe

My favorite way to use this blackened seasoning is on fish. I will most often use it on catfish to make Blackened Grilled Catfish. This seasoning is also really good on tilapia, salmon, and other fish. To get the spice blend “blackened”, I like to use a cast iron skillet. It retains heat really well and allows me to basically char the seasoning to form the black spice crust I want.

How to blacken fish

  1. Heat the skillet to medium heat
  2. Add a little oil and then add your fish filets.
  3. Cook 4-5 minutes on each side, being careful to only turn once.

Other recipe/meal ideas using this homemade blackened seasoning recipe:

  • Blackened Chicken Alfredo
  • Blacked Steak with a Herbed Garlic Butter
  • Blackened Fish Tacos with Coleslaw and Sriracha Mayo
  • Blackened Carrots and Sweet Potatoes (oven roasted is the easiest)

Storing  Seasonings 

With homemade seasoning, it’s up to you if you’d like to make a small or large amount of seasoning. I like to make smaller batches and store my homemade seasonings/spice mixes in these glass containers*. They have nice looking chalkboard labels and shaker insert lids to make it easier to sprinkle seasoning onto any food.
