Blackened baked cod is a delightful dish that brings a taste of the coast to our Midwestern table. This recipe is perfect for those evenings when you want something quick yet special. The technique of blackening originated in Louisiana and is known for its bold flavors and crispy texture. It’s a wonderful way to introduce a bit of spice and excitement to your family dinners, while keeping the fish moist and flaky inside.
This blackened baked cod pairs beautifully with a side of creamy mashed potatoes or a light, refreshing coleslaw. For a touch of color and added nutrition, consider serving it with steamed green beans or a simple garden salad. A slice of warm, crusty bread would also be a lovely addition to soak up any extra juices.
