0.25 tsp cayenne pepper

0.25 tsp dried oregano

1 tbsp avocado oil mayonnaise

1 tsp lemon juice

1.5 cup broccoli florets

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a small bowl, whisk together the avocado oil mayonnaise, lemon juice, and lemon zest to create the aioli, then set aside.

• 2

  In a shallow dish, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, oregano, thyme, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 3

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

• 4

  Heat the avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.

• 5

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

• 6

  While the fish cooks, steam the broccoli florets over boiling water for 5 minutes or until tender-crisp.

• 7

  Serve the blackened catfish immediately, topped with a dollop of lemon aioli and the steamed broccoli on the side.
