INGREDIENTS
8 ounces Catfish Fillet
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/2 teaspoon Paprika
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
Pinch Salt
Pinch Black Pepper
1 Lemon wedge
PREPARATION
Pat the catfish fillet dry with a paper towel to ensure a crispy crust.
In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the fillet lightly with olive oil on both sides.
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the fillet, pressing gently so the spices adhere well.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot.
Place the seasoned catfish in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the exterior is beautifully blackened and the fish flakes easily.
Squeeze the lemon wedge over the cooked fillet for a burst of fresh flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy the crisp texture and aromatic spice blend.
