For the Fish
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Heat cast iron skillet over medium high heat.
While pan heats, add melted butter to one shallow dish and add blackened seasoning to another shallow dish.
Dip each fillet in melted butter then immediately dredge in blackened seasoning covering both sides. Shake off excess seasoning then place in hot pan.
Cook each side for 2-3 minutes. Finally pour honey glaze over fish and place in the oven for 10 minutes then serve.
Storing your blackened fish is a breeze, ensuring you keep those flavors locked in for a delicious encore! Simply let the cooked fillets cool completely, then transfer them to an airtight container. They'll keep their groove in the fridge for up to 3 days or you can freeze 'em for up to 2 months, ready to reheat.
To reheat your blackened fish while maintaining its mouth-watering texture, place it on a baking sheet and warm it in a preheated oven at 275°F until it's heated through, usually about 10-15 minutes.
