I know that this is likely a re-post. I am looking for a good blackening powder or recipe. It can be commercial or home-made. I m not a fan of the spicy hot blackening.

Any help would be appreciated.

This has worked well for me.

2 tablespoons sweet paprika
1 tablespoons sea salt* or to taste
2 tablespoons onion granules
2 tablespoons garlic granules
2 teaspoons ground cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon ground pepper
2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves, crushed
2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves, crushed


Sprayed the fish and skillet with pam butter flavor cooking spray and cooked for 2 minutes per side.

I am not the one that asked, but that sounds too good not to try. Thanks.

There is going to be much smoke. Skillet needs to be Hot.

Good Luck

Will try it w crappie!

Like Spiderman said there is going to be some smoke. I always do mine outside.

Thanks RNF. I may have to adjust some to reduce the Spicy heat, I definitely plan to cook outside for this dish.

Crappie are a bit delicate for blackening.

I am partial to the Louisiana Brand blackened seasoning.

easy to use . not too spicy , just right.

I use olive oil on the fish first , much easier than the
clarified butter route.


good luck
