Blackened Catfish

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Catfish

    Pat the catfish fillets dry with paper towels. Rub each fillet with Cajun seasoning on both sides.

  2. 2

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

  3. 3

    Cook the Catfish

    Place the seasoned catfish fillets in the hot skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until the fish is blackened and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the catfish from the skillet, serve with lemon wedges, and accompany with dirty rice.
