Cajun Catfish Lite image

I first tasted this after a local cooking demonstration, really liked it, but modified the original recipe slightly. The finished dish is beautiful, looks blackened, but has a deceptively mild taste. So mild in fact that I would add Cajun seasoning and increase the cayenne if you want more of that Cajun heat. Cooks in 10 minutes under the broiler.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt, less if that's your preference
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
4 catfish fillets (about 1 1/2 pounds)

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler.
  • Line pan with foil for easy clean up.
  • Combine oil, paprika, oregano, salt and cayenne pepper in a small bowl.
  • Place catfish on foil-lined pan and brush both sides with spice mixture. Arrange catfish, flat side up, for initial cooking.
  • Broil about 10 minutes (until catfish reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F), carefully turning fillets once halfway through cooking. Don't overcook!
