Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Blackened Swordfish Fillets.
Step 1
Start by preheating your cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until it’s nice and hot—this is key for achieving that perfect sear.
Step 2
While the skillet warms up, melt some butter and pour it into a shallow bowl.
Step 3
Take each swordfish fillet and give it a good dip in the melted butter, making sure it’s well-coated for that rich flavor.
Step 4
Once coated, place the fillets on a plate, ready for seasoning.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to add some pizzazz! Generously sprinkle Creole seasoning over the top of each fillet, and don’t be shy—press it in gently so it sticks.
Step 6
With your skillet sizzling, carefully lay the seasoned swordfish in the pan.
Step 7
Let it cook for about two minutes, watching as it starts to blacken beautifully without burning.
Step 8
Once you see that gorgeous color, flip the fillets over and let them cook for another two minutes on the other side.
Step 9
You’ll know they’re done when they’re nicely blackened and cooked through, ready to be enjoyed.
Step 10
This dish not only looks stunning but also brings a burst of flavor that will impress anyone at your table!.
