This was excellent! I didn't have access to cilantro here in Korea, so i used basil from my garden. It was awesome. I also don't have mango chutney, unfortunately. Maybe I'll pick up a jar on my next trip to the USA

I used only the fish for a diet dish. It worked. I was not able to finish it. The worst fish I've ever tasted.

Delicious! I took the advice posted here & cut back on the thyme and this recipe was a big hit with my husband. I loved it too - definitely something I'll make again and again! Yummm!

In most blackening seasoning recipes, the amount of thyme is in relation to the amount of paprika. In this recipe the amount of sweet paprika is great, thus the thyme is a larger amount. Certainly make it with less thyme next time if you don't care for the pungent taste of the thyme. Hope you give it another shot and make it your own. Libbie Summers, Paula Deen Food Editor
