Blackened Catfish with Green Onion Rice
 
Makes 6 servings
Ingredients
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 pounds catfish fillets
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons hot Cajun seasoning*
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 lemons, halved
  • Green Onion Rice (recipe below)
Instructions
  1. Preheat grill to high heat (400° to 450°). Preheat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet on grill for 15 minutes.
  2. In a shallow dish, place melted butter. Dip each fillet in butter, turning to coat. Sprinkle both sides of fillets with Cajun seasoning; pat gently to coat.
  3. Add oil to skillet (oil should smoke); place fish in skillet. Cook, covered with grill lid, until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn, and cook, covered with grill lid, until fish flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully remove skillet from grill.
  4. Place lemons, cut side down, on grill. Cook, covered with grill lid, until charred, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve fish with lemons and Green Onion Rice.
