BLACKENED CATFISH A LA MER
This is from a local cajun restaurant called Jazz. It's probably my favorite dish that they serve. Notice that both margarine and butter are used - the margarine so that it can be used at a higher temp for blackening.

Steps:
- Place the catfish filets and the melted margarine in a flat dish, saturating the catfish completely.
- Sprinkle cajun seasoning onto one side of the catfish filets, completely covering the filets with a coat of seasoning.
- Place filets seasoning side down on a white hot cast iron skillet or griddle until edges of filets are white.
- Sprinkle the same amount of seasoning on the exposed side of the filets as you did in the previous process and turn with spatula.
- Cook until filet meat is completely cooked but moist, with a blackened exterior coat of spices.
- Be cautious not to over cook as the blackening skillet is extremely hot.
- Place the butter, garlic, green onions, shrimp and crab into a two quart saucepan. Gently sauté until lightly browned.
- Add the seafood stock.
- Cook until shrimp are just pink.
- Lower heat and add heavy whipping cream. Cook while stirring constantly until a gentle boil.
- Add more seafood seasoning to season to taste, mild or spicy.
- Add parmesan cheese to thicken.
- Remove from heat.
- To serve, place a catfish filet on the center of the plate, completely covering it with the sauce. If desired, the catfish can be served over a bed of dirty or white rice.
