INGREDIENTS

6 oz catfish fillet

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

0.5 tbsp avocado oil

0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt

0.5 tsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tsp lemon juice

1 clove garlic

1 cup green beans

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a small bowl, whisk together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, cayenne, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 2

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

• 3

  Prepare the aioli by mixing the Greek yogurt, extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and one minced garlic clove in a small ramekin until smooth.

• 4

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

• 5

  Carefully place the catfish in the hot 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 green beans in a steamer basket over boiling water for 4 to 5 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.

• 7

  Serve the blackened catfish immediately alongside the steamed green beans and a dollop of the lemon aioli.
