Steps:
- The fillets should be at room temperature. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over very high heat until it is beyond the smoking stage and you see white ash in the skillet bottom, at least for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, pour 2 tablespoons melted butter in each of 6 small ramekins; set aside and keep warm. Reserve the remaining butter. Heat the serving plates in a 250-degree oven. Dip each fillet in the reserved melted butter so that both sides are well coated. Then, mix thoroughly all the spices for blackening mixture and sprinkle the Blackening Spice Mixture generously and evenly on both sides of the fillets. Place 1 or 2 fillets in skillet and cook uncovered over very high heat until the underside becomes deep brown, almost black (but not burned), about 2 minutes (the time may vary according to the fillet's thickness and the heat of the skillet). Turn the fish over and pour 1 teaspoon of butter on top of each. Cook until fish is done, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining fillets. Serve each fillet while hot. To serve, place 1 fillet and a ramekin of butter on each plate.

Tips:
- Choose the right catfish fillets. Look for fillets that are about 1 inch thick and have a mild, white flavor.
- Blacken the catfish fillets properly. The key to blackened catfish is to cook it over high heat until it is charred and crispy on the outside and flaky and tender on the inside.
- Make sure the mango avocado salsa is fresh and flavorful. Use ripe mangoes and avocados, and add plenty of lime juice, cilantro, and jalapeño pepper. If the salsa is too thick, add a little bit of water or orange juice to thin it out.
- Serve the blackened catfish with the mango avocado salsa immediately. The catfish is best when it is hot and crispy, and the salsa adds a refreshing and flavorful contrast.
Conclusion:
Blackened catfish with mango avocado salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The catfish is blackened to perfection, and the salsa is fresh and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
