Blackened Catfish and Cedar Planked Halibut and Scallops

clemsontyger97

We've been on a serious fish kick lately, and if this keeps up I may need to look for a 2nd job.   I decided to change up my blackening and go for more of a brown/bronze.   The last few times I blackened I felt like I was overdoing it, at least for my taste.   So rather than get the CI to 450-500, I kept it at 400 and cooked 3-4 minutes per side.   Perfect (for me).




Cedar planked Halibut and Scallops were a first, and were inspired by a post from @Wanasmoke a while back.   I had never cooked halibut or scallops, and pretty pleased with the first run.   Direct @ 375, halibut took 20ish minutes, and scallops were about 18 minutes.  Didn't get any pics on the plank.   Served with mango salsa and cilantro-lime rice, which is apparently my default side dishes for most fish these days.

That's something I haven't done yet but will at some point.
