What Does "Blackened" Mean?
You'll prepare it with just olive oil, seasoning and the veggies of your choice. The term "blackening" comes from the Cajun cuisine and has to do with the way the fish is cooked. The high heat of the oven or hot cast-iron causes the spices to char and create a blackened crust on the surface of the food, giving it a distinctive appearance and flavor.
