Toppits

What You Need:

• 2 teaspoons sweet paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 lb Toppits Catfish Fillets
• 1 large garlic clove, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• Cajun rice and grilled vegetables as accompaniment

Directions:

In a small bowl combine the first seven ingredients.  Pat the catfish fillets dry, and sprinkle the spice mixture on both sides of the fillets, coating them well.  In a large skillet, sauté the garlic in oil over moderately high heat, stirring, until it is golden brown, then discard the garlic.  Add the butter to the pan, and heat until the foam subsides.  Sauté the catfish for 4 minutes on each side, or until it is cooked through.  Transfer the catfish fillets with a slotted spatula to plates and serve with Cajun rice and grilled vegetables.
