Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 (6-ounce) catfish fillets
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 lemon wedges

Directions

On a plate, mix together the paprika, cayenne, thyme, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt and pepper for the blackened spice mixture. Dredge the catfish fillets in the spice mixture and set aside.

Heat a large cast iron fry pan or saute pan over high heat until it is "white hot".

Add oil to pan. When oil begins to slightly smoke, add catfish fillets and cook on each side, about 2 to 3 minutes. Cook in batches, if necessary, and transfer cooked fillets to a preheated 200 degree F oven while cooking remaining fillets.

To serve, top each fillet with 1/2 tablespoon of butter and serve with lemon wedges.

    Excellent! I am a new catfish lover because of this recipe. My family loved it. Flavorful and tame enough for all the family members! Thanks Guy.

    My first time making it and my boyfriend loved it. It wasn't dry and so easy to make. It seemed pretty spicy, it had our nose running but he didn't mind. I highly recommend this dish for any seafood lover.

    I was getting bored with catfish until I made this, it was great! Though sadly my fiance likes boring, bland food and didn't like it. I don't care though I'm making it again!
