Blackened Yellowtail

This recipe for Blackened Yellowtail is inspired by the classic Cajun dish, Blackened catfish, where fish fillets are coated in spices and pan-fried in a hot skillet. Take the fear factor out of preparing fish at home with this quick, easy, and tasty dish.

Yellowtail has been gracing Japanese dinner tables for centuries in preparations including sashimi, carpaccio, poke, and ceviche. The fish is also enjoyed in cooked dishes such as shioyaki (grilled salted fish), teriyaki, and shabushabu, which bring out the flavors of the Yellowtail’s fat content. This video was produced by The Culinary Institute of America as an industry service to Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries.
