Blackened Pork Fillets Recipes

BLACKENED SALMON FILLETS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, salt, white pepper, black pepper, thyme, basil and oregano.
• Brush salmon fillets on both sides with 1/4 cup butter, and sprinkle evenly with the cayenne pepper mixture. Drizzle one side of each fillet with 1/2 remaining butter.
• In a large, heavy skillet over high heat, cook salmon, butter side down, until blackened, 2 to 5 minutes. Turn fillets, drizzle with remaining butter, and continue cooking until blackened and fish is easily flaked with a fork.

BLACKENED FISH

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together paprika, dry mustard, cayenne pepper, cumin, black pepper, white pepper, thyme and salt; set aside. Heat a heavy cast iron pan on high heat until extremely hot, about 10 minutes.
• Pour 3/4 cup melted butter into a shallow dish. Dip each fillet into butter, turning once to coat both sides. Sprinkle both sides of fillets with spice mixture, and gently pat mixture onto fish.
• Place fillets into hot pan without crowding. Carefully pour about 1 teaspoon melted butter over each fillet. Cook until fish has a charred appearance, about 2 minutes. Turn fillets, spoon 1 teaspoon melted butter over each, and cook until charred. Repeat with remaining fish.

BLACKENED PORK FILLETS

Steps:

• To make marinade, crush up the cumin, fennel seeds and cloves in a mortar and pestle.
• Mix with the rest of the marinade ingredients.
• I usually use chipotle powder instead of the paprika, up to you.
• Season filets with salt and pepper, and toss them in most of the marinade until completely coated.
• Marinate for 12 hours, or at least one hour.
• Lay the four filets side by side, and skewer them all together with 1 inch in between each of them.
• Put them on a hot grill, or under a hot broiler for 15 to 20 minutes, turning often, and brushing liberally with the remaining marinade until you have a sticky blackened glaze.
• When done, let rest five minutes then slice the meat between the skewers.
• Great with salad, spiced beans, corn on the cob.
• and cold beer.

• Place the fish fillets in the hot skillet.
• Pour 1 tablespoon of butter over each fillet.
