BLACKENED CATFISH WITH MAQUE CHOUX



Blackened Catfish with Maque Choux image

While this is a catfish recipe, it is a modification of a redfish recipe. And as you might suspect, you can modify this recipe for any other fish you choose to use. I've seen blackened salmon, trout, flounder, walleye, black bass, seabass... you get the point. The fish is less important than the technique. As for the maque choux (mahk-shoo) , as you can see it is basically Cajun succotash. Corn, onions and green peppers are its foundation, and it usually has tomatoes and a little hot sauce, too. White rice is the perfect side dish here. Simple, kinda bland, you need it on the plate next to the spicy catfish.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 catfish fillets (or skinless fillets of other fish)
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup Cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 to 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon celery seed
2 tablespoons sweet paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, (chopped, about 1 cup)
1 green pepper, (chopped)
4 cups corn kernels
1 cup cherry tomatoes, (sliced in half)
Salt and Tabasco sauce to taste

Steps:

  • Make the maque choux first. Heat the butter in a saute pan over medium-high heat, then add the onion. Saute the onion for 1 minute, then add the green pepper. Sprinkle salt over everything and saute for about 4-5 minutes, stirring often. Add the corn kernels and cook for another 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and cover while you make the fish.
  • Get a cast-iron frying pan hot over your hottest burner. Turn the stove fan on high, and open the windows nearby, as this creates smoke. Let the frying pan get hot for a good 3-4 minutes. While the pan is heating up, melt the butter and pour the Cajun spices into a shallow dish.
  • Dip the fish fillets in the melted butter, then dredge in the Cajun spices. Shake off any excess. Do this for as many fillets as will fit in the frying pan; I find that 4 normal fillets is as much as it will hold. Lay the fish down on the hot pan. It will sizzle up fiercely and smoke. This is normal. Let the fish cook this way for 2-3 minutes. Using a wide metal spatula, carefully flip the catfish fillets and cook on the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
  • When you flip the catfish, add the tomatoes and the Tabasco to the maque choux.
  • Serve with white rice, the maque choux and a good beer. And revel in the fact that some idiot paid $130 for this back in 1983...

Provided by Shawn C

Categories     Catfish

Time 50m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 catfish fillets
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup lemon juice
blackening seasoning
garlic powder
salt

Steps:

  • heavily season both sides of catfish with seasoning, I use paul prudome's blackened redfish magic.
  • heat a heavy castiron skillet on a medium heat and add butter.
  • once butter is melted and bubbly add 2 fillets at a time and cook 2-3 minutes per side just to seal and start a crust to form.
  • place fillets on a foil lined cookie sheet drizzled with a smidge of olive oil to prevent bottom of fish from sticking. I lay mine "skin" side down.
  • once all fillets are on the cookie sheet drizzle the now seasoned butter from the pan over the fish.
  • spinkle the lemon juice all over the fish and bake in a 350 oven for 25-30 minutes checking every 10 minutes in the thickest part for doneness.
  • serve immedately.

BLACKENED CATFISH



Blackened Catfish image

Provided by Food Network

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 pound (3 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
Six 8- to 10-ounce Catfish fillets (or other firm-fleshed fish), 1/2-inch thick
3 tablespoons Chef Paul Prudhomme's Blackened Redfish Magic (or substitute)
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
2 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground red pepper
3/4 teaspoon white pepper
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves

Steps:

  • The fillets should be at room temperature. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over very high heat until it is beyond the smoking stage and you see white ash in the skillet bottom, at least for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, pour 2 tablespoons melted butter in each of 6 small ramekins; set aside and keep warm. Reserve the remaining butter. Heat the serving plates in a 250-degree oven. Dip each fillet in the reserved melted butter so that both sides are well coated. Then, mix thoroughly all the spices for blackening mixture and sprinkle the Blackening Spice Mixture generously and evenly on both sides of the fillets. Place 1 or 2 fillets in skillet and cook uncovered over very high heat until the underside becomes deep brown, almost black (but not burned), about 2 minutes (the time may vary according to the fillet's thickness and the heat of the skillet). Turn the fish over and pour 1 teaspoon of butter on top of each. Cook until fish is done, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining fillets. Serve each fillet while hot. To serve, place 1 fillet and a ramekin of butter on each plate.

CAJUN BLACKENED CATFISH



Cajun Blackened Catfish image

This is a recipe that I obtained from a very good Cajun friend who is a native of Lafayette, Louisiana. His family adopted me (friendly) many years ago and we have swapped Cajun and Creole recipes through the years.

Provided by Paul Schultz

Categories     Seafood     Fish     Catfish

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried thyme
4 (4 ounce) catfish fillets, skinned
¾ cup unsalted butter

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.
