Catfish Preparation
- 1
Season the Catfish
Rub the Chesapeake catfish fillets with Cajun seasoning evenly, ensuring they are well coated on all sides.
- 2
Cook the Catfish
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned catfish fillets and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. If you prefer blackened catfish, cook for an additional minute on each side to achieve a charred effect.
Cajun Mayo

Prepare the Cajun Mayo
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Cajun seasoning, and lemon juice. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
Sandwich Assembly

Toast the Bread

Assemble the Sandwich
Spread a generous amount of Cajun mayo on one side of each toasted sourdough slice. Place a layer of arugula on top of the mayo on two slices, followed by the cooked catfish fillet, and then add the tomato slices. Top with the remaining slices of sourdough, mayo side down.
