Crispy Cajun Blackened Catfish
Pan-seared catfish fillets coated in a smoky Cajun spice blend, served with vibrant sautéed peppers for a zesty, blackened finish.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Catfish fillets
1 tbsp Ghee
1 tsp Smoked paprika
0.5 tsp Garlic powder
0.5 tsp Onion powder
0.25 tsp Dried thyme
0.13 tsp Cayenne pepper
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 cup Sliced bell peppers
1 medium Lemon
PREPARATION
Pat the catfish fillets completely dry with a paper towel to ensure a crispy crust.
In a small bowl, whisk together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, cayenne, salt, and black pepper.
Press the spice mixture firmly onto both sides of the catfish fillets until evenly coated.
Heat the ghee in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.
Place the catfish in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until the crust is dark and the fish flakes easily.
Remove the fish and add the sliced bell peppers to the same skillet, sautéing for 3 minutes until tender-crisp.
Serve the blackened catfish immediately with the sautéed peppers and a fresh squeeze of lemon juice.
