INGREDIENTS
1 Catfish Fillet (6 oz / 170 g)
2 teaspoons Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Blackening Spice Mix
1 Lemon Wedge
1/2 cup Cooked Wild Rice
PREPARATION
Pat the catfish fillet dry with a paper towel. Lightly brush both sides with olive oil.
Evenly sprinkle the blackening spice mix over both sides of the fish, pressing gently to adhere.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, place the catfish fillet skin-side down and cook for about 3-4 minutes until a nice crust forms.
Flip the fillet and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Warm the cooked wild rice if needed. Plate the catfish over a bed of wild rice.
Finish by squeezing a lemon wedge over the fish and rice for a burst of citrus flavor before serving.
