GRILLED SEASONED CATFISH FILETS



Grilled Seasoned Catfish Filets image

Catfish is so good. We like to take a whole small filet and grill it on our George Forman grill when it is just the two of us at home. We have done this on our regular grill as well but on a night that we just don't want to go to all the hustle and bustle we will pull out the old George Forman because it's quick, easy and have a...

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 small or medium catfish filets
salt and pepper to taste
lemon pepper seasoning or your favorite seasonings

Steps:

  • 1. Wash and dry catfish filets. Salt and pepper. Sprinkle your choice of seasonings on both sides of fish. Let stand for a few minutes. We use a cajun, no salt mixture of seasonings. This is made up of curry powder, onion powder,garlic powder, and other ingredients on the label. Actually, we do not put a lot of salt on the fish when we are seasoning it.
  • 2. After the fish is seasoned, place it on the grill. Keep turning it until there are no more juices running from it. When using the George Forman grill we just follow the directions of usage for the grill. This is also good on the regular grill!

CAJUN BLACKENED CATFISH

This is a recipe that I obtained from a very good Cajun friend who is a native of Lafayette, Louisiana. His family adopted me (friendly) many years ago and we have swapped Cajun and Creole recipes through the years.

Categories     Seafood     Fish     Catfish

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried thyme
4 (4 ounce) catfish fillets, skinned
¾ cup unsalted butter

Steps:

  • In a shallow bowl, mix together the black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, parsley, cayenne pepper, kosher salt, oregano, and thyme until thoroughly combined. Press the catfish fillets into the spice mixture to thoroughly coat.
  • Arrange a portable heat source outdoors, such as a butane burner or side burner of a gas grill. Melt butter in a glass or metal bowl. Light the burner, and place a large cast-iron skillet onto the burner over high heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of melted butter into the skillet; set remaining 1/2 cup of butter aside.
  • When the butter in the skillet is smoking hot, lay the catfish fillets into the skillet. Cook until the spices are burned onto the fillets and the catfish is opaque and flaky inside, about 3 minutes per side. Don't breathe smoke from burning spices. To serve, pour remaining 1/2 cup of butter over the catfish.
