INGREDIENTS
6 oz Catfish Fillet
1 cup Broccoli
1/2 cup Quinoa (cooked)
1 tsp Smoky Spice Blend
Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat with cooking spray.
Mix the smoky spice blend ingredients (paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and dried thyme) in a small bowl.
Pat the catfish fillets dry and generously rub the spice blend on both sides to achieve a crisp blackened exterior.
Place the seasoned catfish into the hot skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the fish is opaque and slightly charred.
While the fish cooks, steam the broccoli until tender but still vibrant in color, about 4-5 minutes.
Heat the cooked quinoa briefly in a saucepan or microwave if needed for warmth.
Plate the blackened catfish alongside the steamed broccoli and a serving of quinoa. Squeeze a fresh lime wedge over the top if desired for an extra burst of flavor.
