This flavorful, spicy Cajun style blend that not only excels at blackening, but works great as a basic Cajun seasoning for soups, casseroles or meat. Bonus – it’s free of salt! Want the Cajun flavor but no spicy heat? We also have a mild version here. To blacken meat or plant protein like tofu, pat it dry, coat with olive oil or butter, smother with this seasoning and sear on a screaming hot cast-iron pan for a beautiful and tasty crust. Finish cooking in the oven if needed.

Organic Ingredients: paprika, garlic, black pepper, thyme, celery seed, oregano, cayenne pepper

Recipes

Lets talk about making perfect blackened fish:

  1. Coat the fish with Blackened seasoning mix on both sides.
  2. Get a cast iron pan screaming hot and add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil.
  3. Add the fish and cook for about 2 minutes, depending on the size of the filet. You want the edges on the pan side to begin to pull up, and look cooked.
  4. With a large spatula flip and cook on the other side for about a minute to a minute and a half.
  5. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
  6. We like to serve this with our Buffy’s Slayer Helper Remoulade.

    Great flavors and spice punch to go along with a terrific aroma, even in the application phase. So great.

    My new found favorite cajun seasoning. When the blackening seasoning from World Market disappeared from shelves I went hunting for a substitute that wasn’t sky high in salt (a la Tony Chachere’s). Doesn’t overdo it on the heat (but does have a kick to it), so it works as a great base for varying tolerances for heat. This is a high-quality blend and you get a great value from the 4 oz bag. Shipping was quick and well packaged and they even threw in a free sample of apple pie spice.

    I use this as a basic cajun seasoning blend all the time and it’s wonderful! My spouse and I really enjoy it and, as always, LOVE that we don’t have to worry about “what else” got slid in it because it’s both organic and salt free!

    This blackening season is outstanding. We’ve used it a lot on fish, making a nice crisp crust with lots of flavor. It also goes really well in gumbo or chowder. Extremely versatile blend that could be used in a variety of recipes. It has a little bit of a kick to it, but depending on your preference you may like adding a little extra cayenne. Delicious!

    This blackening season is so good! The fact it has zero salt and zero sugar was the first thing that stood out. All the flavor of the spices combine well, and have just enough heat. This is definitely my “go to” for blackening. Thank you again Pinch Spice Market! You have made it easy to find better quality spices in one place.

    I -love- that this blend is salt-free! I have been using it for chicken and veggies due to dietary restrictions. Looking forward to trying it in soup!

    I had been out of Blackened seasoning for awhile and imagine my happiness when I found a half empty bag hidden behind something. I immediately filled my jar. This stuff is amazing. I use it on everything. It’s even good on scrambled eggs! Yeah boy

    Perfect for blackening salmon and cooking in a cast iron pan.

    I love that this blend is salt-free so I can add as much or little as I like and then salt to our taste. I use it on catfish and grouper all the time. I used to make my own spice blend for fish which was a lot of work. This makes it easy!

    WOW!!

    Initially I purchased this “Blackened” Spice Mix, because I wanted to spice up my peanuts that I roast with a “Cajun-Style” Mix like I’ve had in the past, so this was a nice addition to my peanuts. I only tried it a few times with the roasted peanuts, but I wasn’t sold on it then(I will need to experiment more with them, when I get more peanuts). A few weeks later I decided to try it out on my meal one night and I was blown away.

    This mix has a very “Light” taste to it, and what I mean by that is it is a very “Refreshing,” non-rich, non-heavy taste/favor.

    This is compared to a “Heavier,” spice mix such as a many of the Indian curry/masala mixes, or even the Chili Powder mix, which are more “Heavier,” and “Richer” to me in flavors and taste. More “Rich.” Like a heavy, rich, brownie.

    It isn’t to say that this Blackened mix isn’t flavorful or isn’t strong, as I’m constantly tasting the celery seed in the mix… It’s just that the taste of this mix just gives off a very “refreshing” and light flavor to it, if that makes sense. I really enjoy it a lot!

    Another Winner, Pinch! Thank you

    Use this quite frequently on almost everything. Originally bought off of Amazon and asked my wife to order more (almost out) goes great on fish, chicken, beef, chili. Didn’t realize there were so many more. No msg. Good stuff and doesn’t take much.
