Cod with blackening rub

Cod with blackening rub recipe

Preparation: 

For the blackening rub:

1. Whisk all the ingredients together in a small bowl. Store in a jar out of the light.

For the fish:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. Cut lemons in half and place in a hot grill pan until slightly blackened. Set aside.
3. Mix the flour, cornstarch, and 2 tablespoons of the blackening rub in a shallow bowl.
4. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
5. Dredge the fish fillets in the seasoned flour and lower them, skin side down, into the oil. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon blackening rub over the fish. Fry for 3 minutes. Flip the fish and fry for 2 minutes.
6. Transfer the fish, flipping it skin side down, to a rimmed baking sheet and dot with the butter. Bake until the fish is just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Place over the Summer Couscous and drizzle with the Heirloom Tomato Vinaigrette. Serve with the charred lemons.
