Recipe Details:

- Cook Time: 25 minutes
- Total Time: 35 minutes
- Servings: 4
- Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients:
- 4 catfish fillets
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Uncle Dibbz Delta Dust Blackened Seasoning
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Position the oven rack near the top for broiling.
-
Prepare the Garlic Butter Glaze:
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Stir until well combined.
-
Prep the Catfish Fillets:
Pat the catfish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps the seasoning and butter adhere better.
-
Coat the Fillets:
Place the catfish fillets on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Brush each fillet generously with the garlic butter mixture, ensuring all surfaces are coated.
-
Season with Delta Dust:
Evenly sprinkle Uncle Dibbz Delta Dust Blackened Seasoning over the glazed fish, creating an even, colorful layer.
-
Bake the Catfish:
Bake the seasoned catfish fillets in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until they are opaque and begin to flake easily with a fork.
-
Broil for Blackened Finish:
After baking, switch the oven to broil on high. Broil the catfish for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the top of the fish is slightly charred and crispy, creating the blackened effect.
-
Serve:
Remove the catfish from the oven and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side. This dish pairs well with roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad.
Enjoy!
For an extra kick, drizzle more garlic butter on the fish right after broiling, and squeeze a little lemon juice for added flavor.
