6 thin boneless catfish fillets
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon paprika
2 sticks of butter, melted
lemon wedges
THE WAY TO DO IT
Rinse the catfish fillets under running cold water and then pat dry with paper towels.
Combine dried thyme leaves, dried oregano leaves, cayenne pepper, black pepper, white pepper, sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika in a small bowl. Dip catfish fillets in the melted butter and sprinkle with seasoning mix. Be sure to thoroughly coat each fillet.
Heat a black cast iron skillet until it is scorching. Pour the leftover butter into your skillet. Carefully place the catfish fillets into the skillet and cook for about 4 minutes on each side. The blackened seasoning will produce smoke. So another way to tell when to turn over your fillets is when the smoke turns gray. Garnish this delicious dish with a lemon wedge and serve while hot.
