Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse the catfish fillets under cold water, pat them dry with a paper towel, and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
2
Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the blackening seasoning and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant.
3
Add the catfish fillets to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are cooked through and the crust is golden brown.
4
Transfer the catfish to a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 5-7 minutes, until the crust is crispy and golden brown.
5
While the catfish is baking, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the lemon juice and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
6
Serve the blackened catfish with the lemon butter sauce spooned over the top. Garnish with a sprinkle of parsley and a slice of lemon.
