Ingredients
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine paprika, cayenne pepper, black and white pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and oregano to form a spice mixture.
Pat the catfish fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of each fillet with melted butter, generously coating them with the prepared spice mixture.
Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully lay the fillets into the skillet, cooking until the exterior is blackened and the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 4–5 minutes per side.
Transfer the cooked fillets to a serving dish and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
