Cajun Blackened Catfish with Lemon Aioli
Pan-seared catfish fillets coated in a smoky Cajun spice blend, served with crisp-tender green beans and a zesty lemon aioli for a vibrant, soul-warming finish.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Catfish fillets
1 tsp Avocado oil
1 tsp Smoked paprika
0.5 tsp Garlic powder
0.5 tsp Onion powder
0.25 tsp Dried oregano
0.25 tsp Dried thyme
0.13 tsp Cayenne pepper
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tbsp Avocado oil mayonnaise
1 tbsp Nonfat Greek yogurt
1 tsp Lemon juice
1 clove Garlic
2 cups Fresh green beans
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, cayenne, sea salt, and black pepper to create the blackened seasoning.
Pat the catfish fillets completely dry with paper towels and coat both sides evenly with the spice mixture, pressing it gently into the flesh.
Prepare the lemon aioli by whisking together the avocado oil mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and minced garlic in a small ramekin until smooth.
Heat the avocado oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.
Place the seasoned catfish fillets in the hot skillet and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until a dark crust forms and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish is searing, steam the fresh green beans in a steamer basket for 5 to 6 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
Plate the blackened catfish alongside the steamed green beans and serve immediately with a generous dollop of the lemon aioli.
