Cajun Blackened Catfish with Lemon Aioli
Pan-seared catfish fillets coated in a smoky spice blend, topped with a bright lemon-garlic aioli and served with crisp green beans.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Catfish fillet
1 tsp Smoked paprika
0.5 tsp Garlic powder
0.5 tsp Onion powder
0.25 tsp Dried oregano
0.25 tsp Dried thyme
0.13 tsp Cayenne pepper
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.5 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.25 cup Plain Greek yogurt
1 tsp Lemon juice
1 clove Garlic
1 cup Green beans
PREPARATION
Pat the catfish fillets completely dry with a paper towel to ensure a proper sear.
In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
Generously coat both sides of the catfish with the spice mixture, pressing it into the flesh.
Prepare the aioli by whisking together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and one minced garlic clove until smooth.
Steam the green beans for 4-5 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
Heat the olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the catfish in the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until the crust is dark and the fish flakes easily.
Serve the blackened catfish immediately with a dollop of lemon aioli and the steamed green beans on the side.
