Description

This is an easy and tasty recipe for pan-seared catfish in butter with a deliciously spicy yellow mustard and cracked black pepper crust.

Ingredients

4 whole catfish, cleaned with head and tail removed
1/2 cup prepared yellow mustard
1/4 cup cracked black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup butter

Directions

1 Pat catfish dry; spread a layer of mustard over the surface. Place cracked black pepper onto a plate; press coated catfish into the pepper so it is well covered.
2 Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry catfish for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until fish flakes with a fork.
