Mild Blackened Catfish
I made this mild version of blackened catfish for my family. The dish turned out perfect for my kids, and my husband and I added extra cayenne pepper at the table to our liking. I thought it turned out quite well. I hope you'll agree! Ingredients
- 3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 3 teaspoons lemon pepper
- 3 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 3 teaspoons pepper
- 3 pounds catfish fillets
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3/4 cup Italian-style salad dressing (I used Bernstein's)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- In a shallow, medium bowl, mix cayenne pepper, lemon pepper, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Brush both sides of catfish fillets with butter. Rub fillets with the cayenne pepper mixture on both sides.
- Heat a large heavy skillet over high heat until smoking hot. Add fillets, and fry approximately 2 minutes on each side, until slightly blackened.
- Arrange blackened fillets in a single layer in a lightly greased baking dish, and coat with the salad dressing. Bake 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove and serve with rice or pasta.8

I really enjoyed this catfish! It would go awesome over some blackeyed peas! Or serve it over some simple garlic rice (steam rice then saute it for a few minutes in a pan with garlic and a little butter or olive oil). YUM!
LOVED Making and EATING this!!! But instead of an Italian dressing, I used Tzatziki sauce! I LOVE greek food and have lots of tzatziki sauce so I wanted to try that...Turned out AWESOME! Thanx for the great recipe!!! I used a little less salt and I made a wonderful Truffle Risotto for the bed of rice...NOMMERS!
