I was scrolling through the aisles of the grocery store, looking for something new to try for dinner. I had been seeing blackened redfish recipes all over the internet and was intrigued.

Though I’d never cooked or eaten redfish before, I decided to give it a try. I found some frozen redfish fillets and a jar of blackened seasoning.

I followed the recipe on the back of the seasoning jar, and it was delicious! The redfish was tender and flaky, and the seasoning added a nice smoky flavor.

I propose blackened redfish if you’re searching for something new to prepare for supper. It’s simple to make and a delicious and healthy meal. Just be sure to pair it with the right side dish, or you’ll be missing out on the full experience. Here are some of my favorite side dishes to serve with blackened redfish:

Whenever I make blackened redfish, I always have some creole coleslaw on the side. The cool, crunchy cabbage pairs perfectly with the spice of the blackened seasoning.

And it’s so easy to make! Just mix together some shredded cabbage, mayonnaise, vinegar, and Creole seas
