Cajun Blackened Fish with Pineapple Salsa Recipe
This grilled fish recipe made for a prefect lunch with the Mrs. recently with a combination of hot Cajun spices blended with the flaky tenderness of Cod fish and cool smoothness of Greek Yogurt, sweetened perfectly with a pineapple salsa. I missed a bit on the blackening but nailed it on the flavor!
Ours was grilled on the Island Grillstone.
How to make: Cajun Blackened Fish with Pineapple Salsa
Ingredients
3 inch piece fresh pineapple, finely diced
6 green onions, thinly sliced
2 tbs finely shredded fresh mint
1/4 cup coconut vinegar
2 tbs olive oil
6 tbs ready made Cajun spices
6 cod filets
1/4 Greek-style plain yogurt
Place the pineapple, green onion and mint in a bowl.
Season with pepper and mix together well.
Just before serving, stir in the vinegar and olive oil.
Place the Cajun spices in a dry frying pan and dry-fry over medium heat for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Transfer the spices to a sheet of baking paper and lightly coat each side of the fish fillets, patting off any excess.
Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Cook the fish on a hot, lightly oiled barbecue grill or flat plate (Island Grillstone.) for 2 – 3 minutes each side, depending on the thickness of the fish.
Serve with a little yogurt spooned over the top and the salsa on each side.
