Butter Fried Catfish

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon Ground Cayenne Pepper
• 1 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt (Optional)
• 1 teaspoon Ground Thyme
• ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
• ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
• ½ teaspoon Paprika
• ½ teaspoon Dried Dill Weed
• ½ teaspoon Lemon Pepper
• ½ Cup Melted Butter
• 2 (8 ounce) Catfish fillets
• Lemon juice

Thoroughly blend the cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dill weed and lemon pepper in a clean and dry mixing bowl. Use a brush to coat the catfish with some of the melted butter. Sprinkle the blended spice mixture on the catfish fillets on both sides.

Heat the remaining butter in a skillet over medium to high heat and fry the seasoned catfish for four to five minutes (or until the fish flakes easily with a fork). Serve with white rice. (You can pour the remaining butter from the pan over the fish and sprinkle with lemon juice.)
