Ingredients

  • 2 catfish filets
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Season catfish filets with salt, pepper, and lemon pepper seasoning.
  2. Place seasoned filets in a medium greased skillet over medium heat.
  3. Cook for 4 minutes on each side or until fish begins to turn golden brown on the outside and can be flaked apart with a fork on the inside.

Notes

  • Add flour. You can choose to make this pan-fried catfish with flour if you choose. Lightly coat the filets in flour after seasoning and pan-fry until golden brown. The flour will add a crispy texture to the outside.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan. If you decide to increase this recipe, do not overcrowd the pan to ensure that the filets cook evenly and get nice color on both sides.
  • Skin vs. no skin. If you purchase catfish with the skin on, you can leave it on if you wish. Sear the skin side down to ensure it gets nice and crispy before flipping.
  • Rest the cooked fish. Allow the catfish to rest for 5-10 minutes to ensure maximum juiciness before serving.
