The Cajun flavor is great in this skillet-grilled catfish recipe. You can use this recipe with any thick fish fillet, but I suggest catfish or haddock. —Traci Wynne, Denver, Pennsylvania

Ingredients

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon pepper
4 catfish fillets (6 to 8 ounces each)
1/4 cup butter
Optional: Lemon wedges and minced fresh parsley

Directions

In a large shallow dish, combine the first 9 ingredients. Add catfish, 1 fillet at a time, and turn to coat.

Place a large cast-iron skillet on a grill rack over medium-high heat. Melt butter in the skillet; add catfish in batches, if necessary. Grill, covered, until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 5-10 minutes on each side. If desired, serve with lemon wedges and fresh parsley.
