Method

Prepare the Blackened Catfish

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spice Mixture

    In a small bowl, mix together paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt.

  2. 2

    Season the Catfish

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

  3. 3

    Cook the Catfish

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned catfish fillets and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until blackened and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Make the House Remoulade

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, horseradish, lemon juice, chopped capers, chopped parsley, and minced garlic. Mix well.

  2. 5

    Season the Remoulade

    Add salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed and refrigerate until ready to use.

Assemble the Sandwiches

  1. 6

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the sandwich buns lightly on a grill or in a toaster.

  2. 7

    Build the Sandwich

    Spread a generous amount of the house remoulade on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place a blackened catfish fillet on top, followed by pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.

  3. 8

    Serve with Fries

    Serve the assembled catfish sandwiches with a side of fries.
