Blackened Grouper Sandwich uses spicy seasoning to wake up a pan-seared grouper fillet, making a perfect seafood sandwich.
Blackened Grouper Sandwich
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
This month for #FishFridayFoodies the topic is on fish and seafood sandwiches. For my recipe, I decided to put together a blackened grouper sandwich, which is quite simple and quick to prepare.
The idea of blackening fish was first developed by Chef Paul Prudhomme, back in the 1980’s. It became wildly popular throughout the 1990’s for the impact of its flavor without deep frying the fish. Usually it is done with any type of redfish, but it also works well with grouper, the popular Floridian fish, but you can use it with almost any firm fish you have on hand.
I think it is really perfect for a busy weeknight meal, and I served mine with simply baked French fries and cole slaw.
Join me tomorrow when I share my recipe for Chicken Stew with Parsley Dumplings when I join in the monthly outing of Saturday Soup Swappers. It was quite delicious and a lot of fun! Until then-

Love grouper and love that you blackened this instead of frying it. Much healthier and the grouper can shine.
I love grouper, Sue. This looks fabulous. P~
I remember when blackened fish hit the scene! This sandwich and sides looks delicious, and now I’m craving blackened grouper!
I just want to take a big ‘ol bite out of this sandwich right now! It looks perfect, especially alongside the fries and coleslaw…how could anyone resist?!?!?!
Blackened fish with a pint of ale! I like it.

I love blackened Grouper and this sounds so good. Thankfully I can get it pretty much year round here, whether fresh or frozen.
Sounds tasty!
This made for a delicious fish sandwich! It was super easy to prepare, too. We loved the blackening seasoning. Thank you!
