This recipe makes a lot more Cajun seasoning than you'll need for the catfish. Store the extra in a glass jar and sprinkle on everything from eggs to steak to veggies.
- 2 T. cayenne pepper
- 2 T. chili pepper
- 2 tsp. white pepper
- 2 tsp. parsley
- 2 tsp. thyme
- 1 T. garlic salt
- 1 T. paprika
- 2 tsp. onion powder
- Cooking spray
- 1 lb. catfish fillets
Combine all spices and herbs in a container and blend thoroughly. If you have a spice grinder, run the mixture through it several times to achieve a nearly homogenous mixture. Store the Cajun seasoning blend in a glass jar.
Lightly spray a broiler pan with cooking spray. Place the catfish fillets on the pan and sprinkle generously with the Cajun seasoning. Broil 4-6 inches from the heating element for 4 minutes. Flip the fillets and apply another generous coating of Cajun seasoning (skip this step if a milder taste is desired). Broil for another 3-4 minutes or until fish is opaque.
- Yields: 4 servings
