Crispy Blackened Catfish with Lemon-Herb Sauce and Quinoa
Savor a vibrant dish featuring perfectly blackened catfish fillets with a zesty lemon-herb sauce, served alongside fluffy quinoa. The catfish is seasoned with a blend of smoky spices and seared to a delightfully crispy finish, while the fresh sauce adds brightness and a burst of flavor.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Catfish Fillet
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Onion Powder
0.5 tsp Cayenne Pepper
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tbsp Fresh Dill
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
PREPARATION
Pat the catfish fillet dry with a paper towel. In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the fillet lightly with olive oil, then sprinkle the spice mix evenly on both sides to create a blackened crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the catfish fillet in the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until the exterior is crispy and the fish is cooked through.
While the fish is cooking, prepare the lemon-herb sauce by mixing lemon juice, chopped fresh parsley, and dill in a small bowl.
Plate the cooked catfish and drizzle with the lemon-herb sauce. Serve alongside the cooked quinoa for a balanced meal.
