If you don't have a cast iron skillet, use a nonstick skillet. Just reduce the starting temperature from high to medium-high.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
4 (6-ounce) catfish fillets
1 tablespoon light butter
lemon slices (optional)
Directions:
1. Combine first 6 ingredients in a small bowl, and stir well.
2. Rinse fillets, and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Sprinkle paprika mixture evenly on both sides of fillets; gently rub in seasonings.
3. Place a 12-inch cast iron skillet over high heat until hot. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons butter, and tilt pan to coat bottom. Add 2 fillets, and cook 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; turn and cook 4 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Repeat procedure with remaining butter and fillets. Serve with lemon slices, if desired. Serve immediately.
