Crispy Blackened Catfish with Lemon Garlic Sauce
Savor the delightful crunch of perfectly blackened catfish paired with a zesty lemon garlic sauce. This dish features tender 8-ounce catfish fillets, seasoned with a warm blend of paprika and garlic powder, then pan-seared to a golden crisp. The bright, tangy sauce, created with fresh lemon juice and minced garlic, elevates the flavors, making every bite a satisfying balance of savory and citrus allure.
INGREDIENTS
8 ounces Catfish Fillet
1.5 teaspoons Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Paprika
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (from 1/2 lemon)
1 clove Fresh Garlic
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Pat the catfish fillet dry with a paper towel. In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Lightly brush the fillet with olive oil and evenly coat both sides with the spice mixture.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the fillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until the fish is crispy on the outside and flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish cooks, prepare the lemon garlic sauce by mixing lemon juice, minced fresh garlic, a pinch of salt, and a dash of olive oil.
Once cooked, transfer the catfish to a plate and drizzle the lemon garlic sauce on top. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy the balance of crispy texture and bright, zesty flavors.
