Blackened Flounder with Cajun Sauce

Description

Blackened flounder fillets are tender and flaky on the inside and browned and crispy on the outside. Seasoned with a spice combination that is smokey and a bit spicy, the flounder will be extra special served with a smoky Cajun sauce.

Ingredients

Cajun Sauce

  • â…“cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ sweet chili sauce
  • 2 teaspoons white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Blackened Flounder

  • 4 4ounce flounder fillets, defrosted in refrigerator if frozen
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning *

Instructions

1. Stir together the seasonings. Pat the fillets dry, rub each with some olive oil and press the seasonings onto the top an bottom of fish.

2. Heat a cast iron or other skillet over medium-high heat. Place butter in pan and swirl around. Place fish in skillet and cook for 3 minutes. If pan begins to smoke, turn down heat to medium or low-medium. But you do want the fish to brown on each side.

3. Don't move the fish for at least 3 minutes. Use a metal spatula and slide underneath to flip over. If the fish is sticking, let it cook another 1-2 minutes.

3. The flounder is done when it is golden brown and flaky. An internal meat thermometer registers at least 145°F.

Notes

*If you don't have Old Bay seasoning, use ½ teaspoon each: celery salt, paprika, onion powder, chili powder.

*When using defrosted frozen fish, pat the fillets dry before pressing on the seasonings.

*Flounder cooks quickly. Test it at the earliest estimate with an internal meat thermometer. Cook an extra 1-2 minutes if needed.
