Secret Recipes

Blackened Catfish

• 4 catfish fillets (4 to 5 oz each)
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1/2 tsp crumbled dried sage
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp granulated sugar
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Ground red pepper (cayenne)
• 1/4 tsp Onion powder
• Nonstick cooking spray (PAM)
• 1 tsp Olive oil
• Lemon oil

Put paprika, sage, cumin, garlic powder, sugar, salt, red pepper and onion powder in a 1-gallon food-storage bag. Close bag and shake until well blended. Place 1 fillet in bag at a time and shake until lightly coated. Coat large nonstick skillet with cooking spray.

Add oil and heat over medium-low heat until hot. Add catfish fillets, skinned side up, and cook 4 to 5 minutes until lightly blackened. Carefully turn with spatula. Cook 4 to 5 minutes longer, or until fish feels firm and is opaque at the thickest part. Serve with lemon slices.
