Ingredients
  

  • 2 catfish fillets
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter or ghee (I used vegan butter)
  • 2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • juice of one lemon
  • parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and butter and let it melt.
  • Season both sides of the catfish with the salt, pepper, and thyme. Carefully place the fillets into the skillet.
  • Let them cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side, then use a large spatula to flip.
  • Squeeze the juice from half a lemon onto the fish as it cooks on the second side. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Use a spatula to remove the fish from the skillet and onto your serving plates. You can squeeze more lemon juice over the top when serving if you want, and garnish with chopped parsley.
