7 oz Catfish fillets

0.5 cup White rice, cooked

1 tsp Smoked paprika

0.5 tsp Garlic powder

0.5 tsp Onion powder

0.25 tsp Dried thyme

0.25 tsp Dried oregano

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  Pat the catfish fillets dry with a paper towel and coat both sides evenly with the spice mixture, pressing it gently into the flesh.

• 3

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

• 4

  Place the catfish 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.

• 5

  While the fish cooks, toss the warm cooked rice with the lemon zest, lemon juice, and finely chopped fresh parsley.

• 6

  Steam the green beans in a small amount of water for 4 to 5 minutes until they are bright green and crisp-tender.

• 7

  Serve the blackened catfish immediately over the lemon-herb rice with the steamed green beans on the side.
