Crispy Blackened Catfish with Lemon-Garlic Sauce
Enjoy a vibrant twist on a classic fish dish where an 8‑ounce catfish fillet is boldly blackened with a smoky spice blend and topped with a zesty, homemade lemon-garlic sauce. The crispy exterior contrasts beautifully with the tender interior, and it’s perfectly paired with a side of fluffy quinoa for a balanced, satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
8 ounces Catfish Fillet
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
0.5 teaspoon Paprika
0.25 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
0.25 teaspoon Salt
0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
0.5 cup Cooked Quinoa
PREPARATION
Pat the catfish fillet dry with a paper towel. In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the spice blend evenly over both sides of the fish.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, place the catfish in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the exterior is crispy and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
In a separate small bowl, combine the lemon juice and minced garlic to create the lemon-garlic sauce.
Once the fish is done, drizzle the lemon-garlic sauce over the top of the catfish.
Serve the blackened catfish alongside the cooked quinoa for a complete meal.
