Blackened Catfish Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spice Mixture

    In a small bowl, combine paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Coat the Catfish

    Pat the catfish fillets dry with paper towels. Rub the spice mixture generously over both sides of each fillet.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Sear the Catfish

    Carefully add the coated catfish fillets to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and has a blackened crust.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the catfish from the skillet and serve immediately with garlic mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli.
