This Blackened Grouper brings a little taste of Louisiana to your dinner table with help from blackened seasoning and your cast-iron pan. A squeeze of blackened lemon adds a nice smoky, citrusy flavor.

Notes
Kitchen Tip-Use a very well-seasoned cast-iron skillet for this recipe. Clean and dry it thoroughly to remove any acid from the lemons.
