Crispy Cajun Blackened Catfish Fillets
Pan-seared catfish fillets coated in a zesty Cajun spice blend, served with crisp-tender green beans for a meal that delivers a satisfying crunch in every bite.
INGREDIENTS
9 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 oregano
0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 cup Green beans
0.5 whole 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, oregano, cayenne, sea salt, and black pepper.
Generously coat both sides of the catfish fillets with the spice rub, pressing it into the flesh.
Heat the avocado oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Carefully place the catfish in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until the crust is blackened and the fish flakes easily.
While the fish cooks, steam or lightly sauté the green beans until bright green and tender-crisp.
Serve the blackened catfish immediately with the green beans and a fresh squeeze of lemon juice.
