Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Catfish

    Rinse the catfish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Fillets

    Rub each fillet generously with blackening seasoning on both sides, ensuring they are evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Cook the Catfish

    Carefully place the seasoned catfish fillets in the hot oil. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the fish is blackened and cooked through, with a flaky texture.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the catfish from the skillet and let it rest for a minute before serving. Enjoy your blackened catfish with your choice of sides.
