INGREDIENTS

8 oz Catfish fillet

1 tbsp Avocado oil

1 tbsp Smoked paprika

1 tsp Garlic powder

1 tsp Onion powder

0.5 tsp Dried thyme

0.5 tsp Dried oregano

0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper

0.5 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

1 tbsp Avocado oil mayonnaise

1 tsp Lemon juice

0.5 tsp Lemon zest

1 clove Garlic

1 cup Green beans

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, cayenne, sea salt, and black pepper to create the blackening seasoning.

• 2

  Pat the catfish fillets completely dry with paper towels, then generously coat both sides with the spice mixture, pressing it into the flesh.

• 3

  Prepare the lemon aioli by whisking together the avocado oil mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, and one finely minced garlic clove in a small ramekin.

• 4

  Steam the green beans in a steamer basket over boiling water for 4-5 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.

• 5

  Heat the avocado oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until it begins to shimmer and slightly smoke.

• 6

  Carefully place the catfish fillets in the hot skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until the crust is dark and charred and the fish flakes easily with a fork.

• 7

  Plate the blackened catfish alongside the steamed green beans and serve immediately with a dollop of the lemon aioli.
