Equipment
Ingredients
- 6 oz cod fillet
- 1 teaspoon olive oil

Blackened seasoning
- 1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon dried basil
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon brown sugar optional
Instructions

Notes
- Cooking times will depend on the thickness of your piece of cod. Thicker pieces may need an extra 3-4 minutes, while thinner pieces many not need as much time. When cooked, cod should flake easily (safe cooking temperature is 145 degrees F).
- For a less spicy cod, either leave out the cayenne pepper in your seasoning blend or only add a pinch.
- This recipe is easy to double, triple, or quadruple.
