Crispy Blackened Catfish with Lemon
Savor the delight of perfectly blackened catfish with a crisp, flavorful crust, finished with a fresh squeeze of lemon. This dish pairs tender, protein-packed catfish with a light, nutty quinoa side, making it a balanced choice for a healthy meal.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Catfish Fillet
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 Lemon Wedge
1 tbsp Blackening Spice Mix
PREPARATION
Pat the catfish fillet dry with paper towels.
Lightly brush the fillet with olive oil on both sides.
Generously sprinkle the blackening spice mix over the fillet, ensuring an even coating.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot.
Place the seasoned catfish in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is crispy on the outside and just cooked through inside.
Meanwhile, warm the cooked quinoa if desired or serve it at room temperature as a hearty side.
Plate the crispy blackened catfish alongside the quinoa, and garnish with the fresh lemon wedge.
Squeeze the lemon over the fish just before serving to add a burst of freshness.
