Blackened Fish with Key Lime Tartar Sauce is ridiculously delicious. Make it in the oven or air fryer!
Blackened fish is white fish coated in dried herbs, and spices and pan fried until charred and “blackened.” I spray my fish with olive oil and cook it in the air fryer or broiler it to make it lighter, both ways are great. Here are the ingredients I use in my blackened seasoning. It’s pretty mild, you can reduce or omit the cayenne if you prefer it milder or increase it if you like it spicier.
Ingredients:
Blackened Fish
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- olive oil spray
- 4 pieces fresh skinned white fish fillets, 6 ounces each (mahi mahi, grouper, red snapper, tilapia)
- 3 cups cooked wild rice or brown rice
- lime wedges, for serving
Key Lime Tartar Sauce:
- 1/4 cup reduced fat sour cream
- 3 tablespoons light mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup finely chopped dill pickles plus 1 tablespoon pickle juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped dill
- 1 teaspoon fresh key lime juice
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
