1
Prepare the Rice
In a pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of rice, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for about 18 minutes or until the rice is tender. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
2
Cook the New Potatoes
In a separate pot, add new potatoes and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
3
Prepare the Veggie
Steam or sauté your choice of vegetable until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
4
Season the Catfish
Rub the catfish fillet with blackening seasoning on both sides.
5
Cook the Catfish
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned catfish fillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until blackened and cooked through.

Serve
On a plate, create a bed of rice, place the cooked catfish on top, arrange the new potatoes on the side, and add your choice of vegetable. Enjoy!
