Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon blackening seasoning
  • 4 (4-ounce) skinless catfish fillets
  • ½ lemon
  • Yellow mustard
  • 4 slices Texas toast, buttered and toasted in a skillet
  • Sliced pickles
  • Sliced onion
Instructions
  1. Place a 12-inch cast-iron skillet in an oven, and preheat to 480°. Let skillet stand in oven for 30 to 45 minutes.
  2. Melt butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Turn off heat.
  3. Carefully transfer 12-inch skillet to the stovetop, and heat over high heat.
  4. Dredge each fillet in melted butter on both sides and sprinkle liberally with blackening seasoning. Add fish to dry 12-inch skillet, and spoon some melted butter over the top of each fillet. Cook for about 2 minutes, and turn with a fish spatula. Drizzle with melted butter, and cook until firm to the touch, about 1 minute. Remove from skillet, and top with lemon juice.
  5. Spread mustard onto toast. Add pickles, 2 fish fillets each, and onion to two slices of toast; top with remaining toast. Serve immediately.
