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

There are so many different ways to use this spice. How will you use it?

Storing Seasoning
With homemade seasoning, it’s up to you if you’d like to make a small or large amount of seasoning.
