INGREDIENTS

8 oz catfish fillets

1 tbsp avocado oil

1 tsp smoked paprika

0.5 tsp garlic powder

0.5 tsp onion powder

0.25 tsp dried thyme

0.25 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp cayenne pepper

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 cup green beans

0.5 tbsp ghee

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a small bowl, whisk together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 2

  Pat the catfish fillets completely dry with a paper towel to ensure a crispy crust, then coat both sides of the fish generously with the spice blend.

• 3

  Heat the avocado oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering and just starting to smoke.

• 4

  Carefully place the fillets in the hot skillet and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side, without moving them, until a dark crust forms and the fish flakes easily with a fork.

• 5

  While the fish is cooking, steam the green beans for 3 minutes, then drain and toss them in a separate pan with the ghee and a pinch of salt until tender-crisp.

• 6

  Remove the catfish from the heat and let it rest for 1 minute before serving alongside the buttery green beans.
