INGREDIENTS
6 oz Catfish Fillet
0.5 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Onion Powder
0.5 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1 pinch Salt
1 pinch Black Pepper
1/2 Lemon
PREPARATION
Pat the catfish fillet dry with paper towels to ensure the seasoning sticks properly.
In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the catfish lightly with olive oil on both sides, then evenly coat the fillet with the spice mixture, pressing gently for adherence.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the seasoned catfish in the skillet.
Cook the catfish for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until a crispy, darkened crust forms and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fillet from the skillet and transfer it to a plate.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top for a bright finishing flavor before serving.
