Preparation Instruction

Wash Hands. Generously coat both sides of the catfish with Trade East Blackened Seasoning. Heat a skillet** on high until it is very hot. Add butter; as soon as butter has melted, add catfish. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until catfish is well browned and lightly blackened. Turn, adding more butter if needed. Continue cooking until catfish is well browned and cooked through. If catfish is blackened but not cooked through, place skillet in a 400F oven for 3 to 5 minutes until fish is cooked through and flakes easily.

** Traditionally, blackening fish or steaks has been done in a cast iron skillet. If one is not available any good quality skillet will work. Do NOT use a skillet with a non-stick coating.
