Cajun Blackened Catfish
This is an incredibly tasty dish, but it must be cooked outdoors.
for
4 fresh catfish fillets (about 1 pound)
combine
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons ground chile pepper of choice
1 teaspooon dried basil, crushed
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
Several turns of fresh ground black pepper
pinch of sage
1/4 cup olive oil, margarine, or butter, melted
Lemon slices, halved (optional)
In a small mixing bowl combine onion powder, garlic powder, chile pepper,
basil, white pepper, thyme, pepper, and sage.
Brush both sides of fish with some of the melted margarine or butter.
Coat both sides of fish with seasoning mixture.
If you're using a charcoal grill, remove grill rack and place an unoiled
12-inch cast-iron skillet directly on hot coals. (If using a gas grill, turn
to high and place skillet on the grill rack.)
Preheat the skillet for 12 minutes or until any impurity turns to ash. Add
coated fillets to skillet. Carefully drizzle about 2 teaspoons of the melted
margarine or butter over the fish.
Grill fish for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes or until blackened. Turn fish and drizzle
with 2 teaspoons of the melted margarine or butter. Grill for 1 1/2 to 2
minutes more or until blackened and fish flakes easily when tested with a
fork.
Enjoy
