Ingredients
•
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
•
2 teaspoons lemon pepper
•
2 teaspoons garlic powder
•
2 teaspoons salt
•
2 teaspoons pepper
•
1 pound catfish fillets
•
2 tablespoons butter
•
1 cup Italian-style salad dressing
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish.
2
In a shallow, medium bowl, mix cayenne pepper, lemon pepper, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
3
Brush both sides of catfish fillets with butter. Rub fillets with the cayenne pepper mixture on both sides.
4
Heat a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat until really hot. Add fillets, and fry approximately 2 minutes on each side, until slightly blackened.
5
Arrange blackened fillets in a single layer in the prepared baking dish, and coat with Italian-style salad dressing. Bake 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until fish is easily flaked with a fork.
