BLACKENED TROUT WITH SPICY KALE
Smoky, spicy blackened fish was made famous by New Orleans' Paul Prudhomme. This simple version boosts caramelization with the addition of brown sugar, so you can use a bit less heat (which means less smoke in your kitchen) but still get the signature crunchy crust. Add a beans-and-greens side dish that gets kick from Louisiana green hot sauce and you have a super-flavorful meal ready in about 30 minutes.

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the celery and scallion whites and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and 1 teaspoon each Cajun seasoning and brown sugar and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add the beans, tomatoes and 3/4 cup water; bring to a simmer and cook until the liquid is slightly reduced, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Stir in the kale and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the scallion greens and a few dashes of hot sauce.
- Meanwhile, mix the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons each Cajun seasoning and brown sugar and sprinkle on the flesh side of each fish fillet. Heat 1/2 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add 2 fillets, seasoned-side down, and cook, undisturbed, until blackened on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully turn the fillets and cook until opaque, about 1 more minute. Transfer to plates. Repeat with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil and 2 fish fillets. Serve with the kale and lemon wedges.
