Cajun Style Blackened Catfish

• 1 lb boneless catfish fillet
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon parsley flakes

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon thyme
• butter or oil (for cooking)

1. NOTES: You MUST use butter or oil; margarine will not work.
2. A large cast-iron skillet works best for this, but any large non-stick skillet will work.
3. This recipe will work with nearly any type of boneless fish fillets, but catfish seems to be one of the tastiest.
4. 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.
5. Mix all dry ingredients together.
6. Coat fillets evenly with mixture.
7. Heat small amount of butter or oil in skillet until hot.
8. Place fillets in skillet.
9. Cook 3-5 minutes on each side.
