No Smoke Almost Blackened Catfish image

While wanting a catfish just like the grilled blackened/cajun catfish from Cracker Barrell I came up with this dish.

Categories     Catfish

Time 50m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 catfish fillets
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup lemon juice
blackening seasoning
garlic powder
salt

Steps:

  • heavily season both sides of catfish with seasoning, I use paul prudome's blackened redfish magic.
  • heat a heavy castiron skillet on a medium heat and add butter.
  • once butter is melted and bubbly add 2 fillets at a time and cook 2-3 minutes per side just to seal and start a crust to form.
  • place fillets on a foil lined cookie sheet drizzled with a smidge of olive oil to prevent bottom of fish from sticking. I lay mine "skin" side down.
  • once all fillets are on the cookie sheet drizzle the now seasoned butter from the pan over the fish.
  • spinkle the lemon juice all over the fish and bake in a 350 oven for 25-30 minutes checking every 10 minutes in the thickest part for doneness.
  • serve immedately.
