The Blackened Fish Wrap is a flavorful and popular dish that originated in the southern United States. It is believed to have been created by Chef Paul Prudhomme in New Orleans, who popularized the blackening cooking technique. This dish features a fillet of fish, typically snapper or catfish, coated in a blend of spices including paprika, cayenne, and thyme, then seared in a hot cast-iron skillet to create a blackened crust. The fish is then wrapped in a warm tortilla with crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and a zesty remoulade sauce. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in seafood restaurants across the Gulf Coast region. The key to a perfect Blackened Fish Wrap lies in the spice blend and the cooking technique, ensuring the fish is tender and flaky with a bold, smoky flavor. For a unique twist, some chefs also use alternative methods such as grilling or broiling the fish to achieve the blackened effect.
