Cajun Style Blackened Catfish

This is a recipe handed down to me by my father, and is one of my favorite cajun-style dishes. I hope you enjoy it as much as i do. I am currently attempting to figure out a way to cook this dish on the george foreman grill; stay tuned for the results!!

Steps

---

A large cast-iron skillet works best for this , but any large non-stick skillet will work.

---

This recipe will work with nearly any type of boneless fish fillets , but catfish seems to be one of the tastiest.

---

This recipe produces a lot of smoke , so make sure you have a good vent above your stove , or open some doors and / or windows.

---

Mix all dry ingredients together.

---

Coat fillets evenly with mixture.

---

Heat small amount of butter or oil in skillet until hot.

---

Place fillets in skillet.

---

Cook 3-5 minutes on each side.

Change butter or oil if it gets too black.
