Main Ingredients
Cooking Instructions
1. Prepare the Rice
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of white rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.
2. Season the Catfish
Pat the catfish fillets dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
3. Cook the Catfish
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned catfish fillets and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until blackened and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
4. Make the Seafood Cream Sauce
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream and add Old Bay seasoning. Simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until slightly thickened.
5. Combine and Serve
To serve, place a bed of white rice on each plate, top with the blackened catfish fillet, drizzle with the seafood cream sauce, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
