Instructions Sprinkle catfish with the Cajun Blackening Seasoning. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the catfish and cook for about 5 minutes. Turn each fillet and cook for about 5 minutes more. If cooking larger fillets, cooking time may take a little longer.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, parsley, cayenne pepper, kosher salt, oregano, and thyme until thoroughly combined. Press the catfish fillets into the spice mixture to thoroughly coat. Arrange a portable heat source outdoors, such as a butane burner or side burner of a gas grill.
This baked catfish has a crispy cornmeal coating with a hint of spice from the Cajun seasoning, while the interior stays flaky and moist. Serve with tartar sauce, lemon wedges or your favorite hot sauce and with a green salad on the side. Preheat oven to 450°F.
Although the classic Cajun stew, étouffée, is usually made with crayfish, it's also delicious with catfish. The cooked butter-and-flour mixture, also called a brown roux, gives the sauce a nutty flavor. We added a bit of reduced-fat sour cream and stewed tomatoes to make the sauce rich and flavorful without a lot of extra calories or fat.
