Skillet Grilled Catfish Recipes

Steps:

• In a shallow dish, combine cornbread mix and seafood seasoning. Add catfish, one fillet at a time, and turn to coat., In a lightly oiled large nonstick skillet, cook fillets in batches over medium heat for 5-6 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl, mix together the black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, parsley, cayenne pepper, kosher salt, oregano, and thyme until thoroughly combined. Press the catfish fillets into the spice mixture to thoroughly coat.
• Arrange a portable heat source outdoors, such as a butane burner or side burner of a gas grill. Melt butter in a glass or metal bowl. Light the burner, and place a large cast-iron skillet onto the burner over high heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of melted butter into the skillet; set remaining 1/2 cup of butter aside.
• When the butter in the skillet is smoking hot, lay the catfish fillets into the skillet. Cook until the spices are burned onto the fillets and the catfish is opaque and flaky inside, about 3 minutes per side. Don't breathe smoke from burning spices. To serve, pour remaining 1/2 cup of butter over the catfish.

Steps:

• 1. Wash and dry catfish filets. Salt and pepper. Sprinkle your choice of seasonings on both sides of fish. Let stand for a few minutes. We use a cajun, no salt mixture of seasonings. This is made up of curry powder, onion powder,garlic powder, and other ingredients on the label. Actually, we do not put a lot of salt on the fish when we are seasoning it.
• 2. After the fish is seasoned, place it on the grill. Keep turning it until there are no more juices running from it. When using the George Forman grill we just follow the directions of usage for the grill. This is also good on the regular grill!

Steps:

• Rinse the fillets and pat them dry with paper towels. Mix the cornmeal, flour, salt, creole seasoning, paprika, and pepper together in a shallow dish. Pour the milk into a second shallow dish. Dip the fillets into the milk and then into the cornmeal mixture, coating them well and shaking of any excess.
• Heat 1/2 the butter in a large skillet over high heat, and fry 2 of the fillets for about 3 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
• Transfer the fillets to a serving platter and keep warm. Repeat with remaining butter and fillets. Serve immediately, garnished with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Pour the juice of 5 lemons into a glass bowl; whisk in the sea salt and garlic. Add the catfish fillets, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator 1 to 4 hours.
• Preheat the oven's broiler for 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) and set the oven rack to the lowest position.
• Remove the catfish fillets from the marinade, and shake off excess; discard the remaining marinade. Place the fillets on a broiling pan; sprinkle with the lemon pepper seasoning, garlic and herb seasoning, and Creole seasoning. Arrange the lemon slices over the fillets.
• Broil in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 12 to 15 minutes. You may wish to turn the broiler on fully for the last few minutes if you like the edges of the fish blackened. Sprinkle the fillets with shredded carrot and parsley to garnish. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
