INGREDIENTS

9 oz catfish fillets

0.5 tbsp ghee

0.5 tbsp avocado oil mayonnaise

1 tsp lemon juice

0.25 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp smoked paprika

0.5 tsp dried thyme

0.5 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp onion powder

0.25 tsp cayenne pepper

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1.5 cup green beans

0.5 cup red bell pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  Pat the catfish fillets completely dry with a paper towel and coat both sides evenly with the prepared Cajun spice mixture.

• 3

  In a separate small dish, whisk together the avocado oil mayonnaise, lemon juice, and garlic powder to make the aioli.

• 4

  Melt the ghee in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.

• 5

  Carefully place the catfish in the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until a dark, charred crust forms and the fish flakes easily with a fork.

• 6

  Remove the fish from the pan and set aside; in the same skillet, add the green beans and sliced red bell peppers, sautéing for 5 minutes until crisp-tender.

• 7

  Serve the blackened catfish over the sautéed vegetables and top with a dollop of the lemon aioli.
