Cajun Blackened Catfish with Lemon Aioli
Pan-seared catfish fillets coated in a zesty Cajun spice blend, served with a creamy lemon-garlic aioli and crisp-tender green beans for a vibrant, protein-packed meal.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Catfish fillets
1 tsp Avocado oil
0.25 cup Plain Greek yogurt
1 tbsp Avocado oil mayonnaise
1 tsp Lemon juice
0.5 tsp Lemon zest
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Smoked paprika
0.5 tsp Onion powder
0.5 tsp Garlic 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
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, whisk together the smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper.
Pat the catfish fillets completely dry with paper towels and coat both sides generously with the Cajun spice blend.
Heat the avocado oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.
Carefully place the catfish fillets in the hot skillet and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until a dark crust forms and the fish is opaque.
While the fish is searing, combine the Greek yogurt, avocado oil mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
Steam the green beans in a small amount of water for 4 to 5 minutes until they are vibrant green and tender-crisp.
Plate the blackened catfish immediately with a dollop of the lemon aioli and a side of steamed green beans.
