Quantity
4 catfish fillets
1 pound
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup butter, melted
Cooking Instructions:
Step 1: In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to make the spice rub.
Step 2: Pat the catfish fillets dry with paper towels. Rub the spice mixture evenly on both sides of each fillet.
Step 3: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the melted butter. Once the butter is hot, add the catfish fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is blackened and cooked through.
Step 4: Remove the catfish fillets from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve hot with your choice of side dishes, such as rice, vegetables, or a salad.
