Pappadeaux Blackened Catfish Recipe

Blackened catfish from Pappadeaux is one of my favorite fish recipes to throw together at home.
This dish combines deliciously seasoned catfish with a hint of spice that’s too good to pass up!
The secret to a perfectly blackened crust is in a hot skillet, so don’t forget to heat up that cast iron for about ten minutes before cooking.
Serve it with a side of dirty rice to round out the flavors beautifully.

Ingredients
  
  • 4 Fillets Catfish
  • 2 tbsp Cajun Seasoning
  • 1 tbsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • ½ tsp Onion Powder
  • ½ tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Butter
Instructions
 
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • You’ll want a baking dish ready for the catfish fillets.
  • In a bowl, mix together the Cajun seasoning, paprika, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
  • This spice mixture will coat the catfish.
  • Generously rub both sides of each catfish fillet with the spice mixture.
  • Each piece should be evenly seasoned for the best flavor.
  • In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Carefully add the fillets, cooking for about 2 minutes on each side or until slightly blackened.
  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
