Ingredients
- 4 large catfish filets
- ½ Cup olive oil

- 1 Tablespoons coarse sea salt
Instructions
- Get out and measure all of your ingredients.
- Place olive oil in large bowl or resealable bag.
- Add honey, cajun seasoning, thyme and sea salt to your large bowl or bag.
- Whisk until combined.
- Add your fish filets to the bowl, cover, and let chill in the fridge to marinate for 4 hours, minimum.
- Begin preheating your smoker to 225 degrees once the fish are ready and once it comes to temperature, lay the fish filets on the grate.
- Smoke for 45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees.
- Remove from the smoker and place on cutting board or serving plate.
- Enjoy!

Notes
- Tips:
- I used cherry wood pellets made by Traeger, which gave the fish an amazing flavor compared to the cheaper brands.
- I would suggest only using fruit wood pellets as some of the other types can really soak into the fish and be too overpowering.
- This is a very forgiving fish to work with, so you can add or take away ingredients to make it your own and you’ll most likely love it either way.
- If you leave the catfish to marinate overnight, that’s the best option, but 4 hours will do the job.
- It doesn’t matter the size of the fish or the time you cook it, as much as it does the internal temperature. As long as your catfish reaches 140 degrees, you’re good to go.
