Blackening is a cooking technique commonly used in fish preparation. It was invented by the New Orleans Chef Paul Prudhomme who made the dish Blackened Redfish famous. The food is dipped in butter, dredged in spices, and seared in a very hot pan. If done on the grill, there can be flare ups with fumes. Blackening is also used on sea foods and chicken.

Blackening at Home

Many restaurants offer blackened fish on their menus and it is a good choice for a lighter lunch or dinner. I have always wanted to try this method of preparation but did not want to deal with the fumes. When I read Mother Rimmy’s Blackened Salmon, I had to give it a try. Her recipe is much healthier using lemon juice instead of butter and the blackening is achieved by searing the meat in the pan and finishing it in the oven.

Preparing This Blackened Walleye Meal

If you wish to prepare this entire meal, I would suggest you prepare the Mango Salsa first together with the ingredients for the Blackened Walleye and Spiced Basmati Rice. Preparation can be done in 25 to 30 minutes. Then prepare the rice and allow it to finish cooking on the stove while you tackle the fish. This way you should be able to finish all 3 dishes in 45 minutes total.

The recipe below was adapted from Mother Rimmy’s Blackened Salmon.

Mango Salsa

I combined the blackened fish with her gorgeous Mango Salsa from an earlier post. I had to omit the avocado as I did not have any on hand. The blackened fish was moist and flavorful and the Mango Salsa was very refreshing. Served with spiced basmati rice, it was a fabulous meal!

    I like the idea of dipping the fish in butter and then also using lemon! =) The blackening gives it texture and brings out the flavors! Looks delicious. I'm going to try your spiced basmati rice (and break away from my calrose!). The spices in the rice must be incredible. Beautiful dish.

    I'd like to try this, my husband and I have been trying to cook more fish. Any tips on how to get it deliciously blackened without completely burning the whole thing? PS Happy Monday Biren, hope you had a great weekend!

    I would increase the heat and let it sear for just a little longer but watch it closely so that it does not burn.

    Happy Monday to you too!

    It would be delicious dipped in butter and sprinkled with lemon or lime. We have always enjoyed the spiced basmati rice. Do remember to remove the spices when you serve it. Toasted cashews are also good with the rice.

    I love the sweet and sour combo of the mango salsa paired with the walleye fillet. Those flavors will definitely bring out the freshness in the fish. This salsa will definitely go well with any seafood. Your dish looks like something I would pay good money for at a high end restaurant. Love this Biren!

    Wonderful! I can't wait to try the seasoning with the garam masala I just purchased at Cost Plus and some meaty tilapia filets, or cod. I haven't seen Walleye available in my local markets.

    As always, your pictures do the food justice. 🙂

    Walleye is a relatively mild fish and is good blackened. Do try it with the garam masala. I think you will like.

    I need to check if Walleye has another other name. Having said that, a fish like that goes really well with mango salsa, isn't it?

    The fish, salsa, and rice turned out very delicious and was fairly easy to make. Only negative thing I can say is the fish was too salty, so I just ate more salsa with it. Next time I may use granulated garlic instead of garlic salt. Thus was my first time making blackened fish. Very flavorful meal!

      Firstly, I am glad you enjoyed the recipe. 🙂 I was surprised too at how easy it was to do the blackening using this technique. Please reduce the garlic salt or use garlic powder and salt to your taste.
