Catfish Recipe

Season the Catfish

In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Rub this spice mixture evenly over both sides of the catfish fillets.

Heat the Pan

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2-3 minutes.

Cook the Catfish

Carefully place the seasoned catfish fillets in the hot skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fillets are golden brown and cooked through. The fish should flake easily with a fork.

Plate the Catfish

Remove the catfish from the skillet and place it on a serving plate. Garnish with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish before eating.
