INGREDIENTS
7 ounces Catfish Fillet
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Unsalted Butter
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
2 cloves Garlic
1 teaspoon Paprika
1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat dry the catfish fillet and season both sides generously with salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and let it heat until shimmering.
Place the seasoned catfish fillet in the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until a crispy, blackened crust forms and the fish is cooked through.
While the fish cooks, prepare the lemon garlic sauce: in a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat, then add minced garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant. Stir in the lemon juice and remove from heat.
Plate the catfish and drizzle the warm lemon garlic sauce evenly over the top. Serve immediately.
