Blackened is a buzz word. It’s just *seared.* What searing means is to *char* it very quickly by cooking it at a very high temperature (using a device that heats it at 1-2k degrees) while leaving the inside at optimal eating temperature. All steakhouses do this to a properly cooked steak using a device called a Salamander.
When you’ve “burnt” your food, it’s done because you cooked it at any temperature too long, so the whole thing is **overcooked**.
