Cooking Instructions

  1. 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. 2

    Season the Catfish

    Pat the catfish fillets dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 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. 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. 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.
