Cajun Blackened Catfish with Lemon Aioli
Pan-seared catfish fillets coated in a smoky, zesty spice rub, served with a velvety lemon aioli and crisp-tender steamed green beans.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Catfish fillets
1 tsp Smoked paprika
0.5 tsp Onion powder
0.5 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Dried thyme
0.25 tsp Dried oregano
0.13 tsp Cayenne pepper
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Avocado oil
1 tbsp Avocado oil mayonnaise
1 tsp Lemon juice
1 clove Garlic
1.5 cups Green beans
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, whisk together the avocado oil mayonnaise, lemon juice, and minced garlic to create the aioli; set aside in the refrigerator.
Combine the smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish.
Pat the catfish fillets dry with paper towels and coat both sides generously with the spice mixture, pressing it firmly into the flesh.
Heat the avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the catfish in the hot skillet and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until the crust is blackened and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish cooks, steam the green beans in a steamer basket for 5 minutes until vibrant and tender.
Serve the blackened catfish immediately with a dollop of lemon aioli and the steamed green beans on the side.
