Method
Preparation of Blackening Spice Mix
- 1
Mix the Spices
In a small bowl, combine paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create a uniform spice blend.
Cooking the Haddock
- 2
Prepare the Haddock
Pat the haddock fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps the spices adhere better.
- 3
Season the Fillets
Rub the blackening spice mix generously all over the haddock fillets, ensuring they are well-coated.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers but is not smoking.
- 5
Cook the Haddock
Carefully place the seasoned haddock fillets in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and has a nice blackened crust. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
