How to Make Cajun Style Fillet Of Catfish With Spicy Butter Sauce
- Pat the catfish fillets dry with paper towels. Season generously with Cajun seasoning.
- In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup of the melted butter, and chopped fresh parsley.
- Dredge each catfish fillet in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Heat the remaining butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside. Add the chopped garlic, green onions, and bell pepper to the skillet and saute for 1-2 minutes until softened.
- Stir in the remaining Cajun seasoning and cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice preference).
- Pour in the heavy cream, and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce slightly thickens.
- Return the catfish fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Cook for another minute to heat through.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with your favorite sides like rice, cornbread, or coleslaw.
