Cajun Style Blackened Catfish - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb boneless catfish fillet
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon parsley flakes
1 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon thyme
butter or oil (for cooking)

Preparation

NOTES: You MUST use butter or oil; margarine will not work.
A large cast-iron skillet works best for this, but any large non-stick skillet will work.
This recipe will work with nearly any type of boneless fish fillets, but catfish seems to be one of the tastiest.
This recipe produces a LOT of smoke, so make sure you have a good vent above your stove, or open some doors and/or windows.
Mix all dry ingredients together.
Coat fillets evenly with mixture.
Heat small amount of butter or oil in skillet until hot.
Place fillets in skillet.
Cook 3-5 minutes on each side.
Change butter or oil if it gets too black.
