It is on the spicy side, which you can dial up or down depending on your preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-i-buy-a-blackening-seasoning-and-just-use-that\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_buy_a_blackening_seasoning_and_just_use_that\"><\/span><strong>Can I buy a blackening seasoning and just use that?<\/strong> <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you can use a store-bought blackening seasoning if you prefer. The benefit of making your own is being able to adjust the flavors and heat\/spice level to your liking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-i-bake-or-air-fry-instead-of-pan-frying\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_bake_or_air_fry_instead_of_pan-frying\"><\/span>Can I bake or air fry instead of pan-frying?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can do whatever you want! Choose your favorite method, and run with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To bake<\/strong>: Preheat your oven to <strong>400&deg;F<\/strong>. Place the seasoned tilapia fillets on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake for about <strong>10<\/strong> to <strong>12 minutes<\/strong>, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.<br><strong>To air fry<\/strong>: Preheat your air fryer to <strong>400&deg;F<\/strong>. Lightly spray the basket and the fish with oil. Air fry the fillets for about <strong>7<\/strong> to <strong>9 minutes<\/strong>, flipping halfway through. This method gives a nice crust without the need for extra oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-23441af8 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100 has-icon has-icon-before has-icon-thumbtack\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-align-center wp-element-button external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/130041507985492682\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">Pin this recipe for later!<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-877c468d wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group flex-shrink-0 desktop-margin-left-60-negative has-base-alt-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-80fb368b wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-radius:100%;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/thumbtack-solid.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62661\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;object-fit:contain;width:20px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/thumbtack-solid.svg\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-serve-with-blackened-tilapia\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_serve_with_Blackened_Tilapia\"><\/span>What to serve with Blackened Tilapia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A good, solid potato dish like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/funeral-potatoes\/\">Funeral potatoes,<\/a> some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/garlic-parmesan-risotto\/\">garlic parmesan risotto<\/a> or a rice pilaf are good sides.

fish?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/summary> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">A well-seasoned cast-iron pan is the best option for getting a good crust on the fish and preventing it from sticking. If using a non-stick pan, ensure it is high-quality and fully heated before adding the fish.<\/p> <\/details> <details class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1747953245940\"><summary><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_I_need_to_use_fresh_fillets_or_can_I_use_frozen_ones\"><\/span><strong>Do I need to use fresh fillets, or can I use frozen ones?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/summary> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Either frozen or fresh fillets work fine. If using frozen fillets, make sure they are fully thawed and dried off before seasoning and cooking.<\/p> <\/details> <details class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1747954646738\"><summary><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_use_other_fish_types\"><\/span><strong>Can I use other fish types?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/summary> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, this seasoning works well with any white fish like cod, halibut catfish and is delicious on salmon and shrimp too. Adjust cooking time and temperature if you are using thick pieces of fish to ensure that the seasoning doesn&rsquo;t burn, and leave you with raw fish. <strong>Turn the heat down for thicker pieces of fish.<\/strong><br><\/p> <\/details> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-all-colors-gradient-background has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-base-alt-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-container-core-group-is-layout-9743dc3e wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-877c468d wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group flex-shrink-0 has-base-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-80fb368b wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-radius:100%;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized wp-duotone-b24d54-fff-8\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/bolt-solid.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62657\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;object-fit:contain;width:20px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/bolt-solid.svg\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-kylee-s-notes\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kylees_Notes\"><\/span>Kylee&rsquo;s Notes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<ul style=\"--ale-marker-type: number\" class=\"wp-block-list is-layout-flow wp-container-core-list-is-layout-66dd1ad1 wp-block-list-is-layout-flow has-advanced-list-styles advanced-list-marker-type-none\">\n<li><div><strong>Adjust the heat: <\/strong>go easy with the cayenne for a less spicy flavor. <\/div><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><div><strong>Pat the fish dry<\/strong> before seasoning to help the spices stick and prevent excess moisture in the pan.<\/div><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><div>Use a <strong>well-heated pan<\/strong> to get a good crust on the fish.<\/div><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><div>If the seasoning burns too quickly,<strong> reduce the heat<\/strong> slightly to avoid a bitter taste.<\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-store-leftovers\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_store_leftovers\"><\/span><strong>How to store leftovers<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Refrigerator<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blackened tilapia should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
