Hello Friends,
You know when you live in the country,
the four seasons are almost summer, summer, still summer, and Christmas.
I hope you are having a good evening.



Cajun Style Blackened Catfish

1 lb boneless catfish fillets
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp parsley flakes
1 tsp ground red pepper
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp thyme
butter or oil only - NO margarine

A large cast-iron skillet works best
any large non-stick skillet will work

Mix all dry ingredients together.
Coat fillets evenly with mixture.
Heat small amount of butter or oil in skillet until hot.
Place coated fillets in skillet.
Cook 3-5 minutes on each side.
Change butter or oil if it gets too black.

* caution
This recipe produces a LOT of smoke, so make sure you have a
good vent above your stove, or open some doors and/or windows.
