Typically battered and fried, catfish is a staple of Southern cooking. For a lighter preparation, we’re blackening this flaky fish with a potent mix of spices. A side of crispy roasted potatoes and caramelized vegetables compliments the dish; a sprinkling of chopped cilantro and a wedge of lemon brightens it up.
