Cajun

Prep catfish filets by patting it dry first with a paper towel.

Mix together olive oil and melted butter then using a brush, brush on catfish filets then coat with cajun seasoning.

Preheat a cast iron or heavy skillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Once the skillet is very hot, add seasoned filets. As soon as it starts to sear, bring the heat to a low to medium heat.

After approximately 3-4 minutes, carefully flip the catfish over. Cook on the other side until the fish filets are opaque and perfectly flaky.

Serve with additional lemon wedges and squeeze on top.
