4.       Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot and almost smoking.

5.       Season the fish with the Cajun Blackening Seasoning and sear, skin side up, for 3 minutes. Flip and continue to cook for another 3 minutes, or until the inside is still pink and the outside has a charred crust to it.
