Grilled Catfish Recipe

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons Italian-style salad dressing

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon lemon pepper

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder

1/8 teaspoons salt

1/8 teaspoon seasoned salt

1/8 teaspoons pepper

1 pound catfish fillets

Preheat grill for high heat (500 degrees F). The coals should be white hot.

Place a cast iron griddle flat top or skillet over the coals and allow it to preheat for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, in small bowl mix together all of the ingredients except the catfish fillets to create a homemade cajun seasoning for blackening your catfish during grilling.

Brush both sides of each fillet with your homemade cajun seasoning.

Clean and lightly oil grill grate.

Place the catfish with the rounded side down first onto your preheated griddle or skillet.

Grilled catfish only takes about 6 - 8 minutes per side. Flip only once. This blackened catfish is best served with rice and vegetables.
