Here I used flounder, but you can use any white flaky fish fillet! In the summer when we go fishing and catch black striped bass, this is usually my go-to! More fish recipes you make love, Fish Florentine and Fish Tacos, two of my most popular!

Cajun Spiced Fish

I try to incorporate fish in my diet at least twice a week, to keep it exciting I like to prepare it in different ways. This recipe is perfect for a busy weeknight meal, you can use any white fish such as sole or cod. Serve this with crusty bread, brown rice or quinoa to soak up the delicious sauce.

Variations and Tips

  • Any firm, white boneless fillet would be great, I choose local and ask my fishmonger for the freshest options available. Here I used flounder cod, but halibut, or striped bass would make a great option.
  • When fresh fish is available, wait until the day or day before to buy it before you are going to cook it.
  • If fresh isn’t available, buy frozen instead of previously frozen to control freshness and keep it frozen until you need it.
  • Frozen fish fillets are great to keep on hand in the freezer. You can defrost them overnight in the fridge or pull from from the freezer and put them in an ice bath (in the package if they are individually wrapped or in a sealed Ziploc) for about 30 minutes
  • Swap the fish for scallops or shrimp if you’re not a fan of fish.
