Crispy Blackened Catfish with Lemon
Savor a perfectly crisped catfish fillet generously seasoned with a blend of smoky, spicy, and aromatic blackening spices, finished with a fresh squeeze of tangy lemon to brighten every bite. This dish features a beautifully seared exterior over a tender, flaky interior, making it as enticing to the eye as it is to the taste buds.
INGREDIENTS
8 ounces Catfish Fillet
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Blackening Seasoning
1/2 Lemon (for squeezing)
PREPARATION
Pat the catfish fillet dry with a paper towel and lightly brush it with olive oil on both sides.
Evenly coat the fillet with blackening seasoning, ensuring a generous layer of the spices on both sides.
Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Place the seasoned catfish in the skillet.
Cook the fillet for about 3-4 minutes on one side, until a crispy, dark crust forms, then carefully flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
Remove the catfish from the skillet and transfer to a plate. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top to enhance its flavor.
Serve immediately while hot, enjoying the contrast between the flavorful crust and tender interior.
