This Blackened Swordfish Recipe is a simple and flavorful way to enjoy a delicious seafood meal.

  • Total Time: 15-20 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Fish:

  • 2 swordfish fillets (6 ounces each)

Seasoning & Flavor:

  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1/2 tablespoon blackening seasoning
  • 1 lemon (for squeezing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and spray a baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Swordfish: Place the swordfish fillets in the baking dish and brush each fillet generously with melted butter to keep the fish moist and to help the seasoning adhere.
  3. Season Fish: Sprinkle the blackening seasoning evenly and generously over the swordfish fillets, coating both sides to create a flavorful crust.
  4. Bake: Bake the fillets in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque throughout and flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook to maintain moistness.
  5. Finish & Serve: Remove the swordfish from the oven, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fillets, and serve immediately for the best taste.

Notes

  • Blackening seasoning typically contains a mix of paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, and salt. Adjust spice levels to taste.
  • Use fresh swordfish fillets for best texture and flavor.
  • Do not overcook the swordfish to avoid dryness; the fish should be moist and flaky.
  • Serve with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
