This catfish recipe is a much more lighter version of a traditional blackened catfish, but with as much of an impact. I think that you will enjoy this very much!
Lightly
Seasoned Cajun CatfishPreheat a large non-stick frying pan over medium high heat with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Lightly sprinkle catfish fillets with cajun seasoning and generously rub into the flesh.
Pan sear fillets for 3 minutes per side or until done, which should have a nice golden colored crisp outside layer and a moist flakey texture inside. Best served immediately.
Tip: This is a light and mild version of a cajun style blackened catfish recipe.

Fish Substitution Tip: You can substitute the catfish for other varieties of moderately lean fish. However, I think that tilapia, walleye, striped bass, and salmon are a few others that are upon the most complimentary types of fish for cooking this cajun style fish dish recipe.
